Augmed 625 mg Tablet

Augmed 625 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic that contains amoxicillin 500 mg plus clavulanic acid 125 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the penicillin-type antibiotic class and is used to treat susceptible bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Augmed 625 mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for infections of the lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, urinary tract, skin, and some dental infections when bacteria are likely to respond.

How it works: Amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building the cell wall they need to survive, and clavulanic acid helps protect amoxicillin from being broken down by certain bacterial enzymes. As a tablet, Augmed 625 mg Tablet is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed into the body and reach the infection site through the bloodstream.

Augmed 625 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet than Augmed 375 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a stronger amoxicillin-clavulanate dose in an adult or older adolescent who can swallow tablets. Because this strength delivers 500 mg of amoxicillin and 125 mg of clavulanic acid per tablet, it may be selected for infections that need more intensive treatment rather than for mild infections.

• Sinus infection
• Ear infection
• Throat or tonsil infection
• Chest or lung infection
• Urinary tract infection
• Skin and soft tissue infection

• Swallow Augmed 625 mg Tablet with a glass of water.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep the antibiotic level steady.
• Take it with food or at the start of a meal if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is acceptable for your specific tablet.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Augmed 625 mg Tablet provides 625 mg total strength, made up of 500 mg amoxicillin and 125 mg clavulanic acid. How often it is taken depends on the infection, your age, kidney function, and your doctor’s instructions; this strength is commonly used more than once daily, but the exact schedule must be individualized. Do not exceed the daily amount prescribed by your clinician, because the right dose is specific to the infection being treated.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
