Augmine 1000 mg Tablet

Augmine 1000 mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that contains amoxicillin 875 mg plus clavulanic acid 125 mg in each tablet, giving a total labeled strength of 1000 mg. It belongs to the penicillin-class antibiotics with a beta-lactamase inhibitor and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Augmine 1000 mg Tablet is prescribed for infections such as sinus, ear, throat, chest, skin, dental, and some urinary tract infections when a doctor thinks this higher-strength tablet is appropriate.

How it works: Amoxicillin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the cell wall they need to survive, while clavulanic acid helps protect amoxicillin from certain bacterial enzymes that would otherwise break it down. In tablet form, Augmine 1000 mg delivers both ingredients together so the antibiotic can work against a broader range of bacteria.

Augmine 1000 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet compared with Augmine 375 mg Tablet, so it is generally chosen for people who need a stronger amoxicillin-clavulanate dose and can swallow a full tablet. It is not meant for self-adjusting doses, and the exact schedule depends on the infection, kidney function, and the prescriber’s plan. Because this is a higher-strength tablet, it may be preferred when a doctor wants fewer tablets per dose than lower strengths.

• Bacterial sinus infection
• Ear infection
• Throat or tonsil infection
• Chest or respiratory infection
• Skin and soft tissue infection
• Dental infection
• Urinary tract infection

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is okay.
• Take Augmine 1000 mg Tablet at the same times each day to keep the antibiotic level steady.
• Take it with food or at the start of a meal to reduce stomach upset.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you feel better before it is done.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not take it for viral illnesses, and do not share your tablets with anyone else.

Each Augmine 1000 mg Tablet provides 1000 mg total strength, made up of amoxicillin 875 mg and clavulanic acid 125 mg. Depending on the infection, a doctor may prescribe it once or twice daily, but the exact dose and duration are individualized and the maximum daily amount should not be exceeded without medical advice. This strength is only one tablet form of amoxicillin-clavulanate, so the prescriber decides whether it is the right fit for the infection and for kidney function.

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