Augmine 375 mg Tablet

Augmine 375 mg Tablet is an antibiotic tablet that contains amoxicillin 250 mg plus clavulanic acid 125 mg in each tablet, for a total labeled strength of 375 mg. It belongs to the penicillin-class antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Augmine 375 mg Tablet is prescribed for infections such as sinus, ear, throat, chest, skin, and urinary tract infections when a clinician decides this combination is appropriate.

How it works: In this tablet, amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell wall, which helps kill the germs. Clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from being broken down by certain bacterial enzymes, so the tablet can work better against susceptible bacteria.

Augmine 375 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet compared with Augmine 1000 mg Tablet, so it may suit patients who need a smaller antibiotic dose or a more tailored regimen. A doctor may choose this strength for milder infections, step-up or step-down treatment, or when the prescriber wants the amoxicillin-clavulanate balance in this tablet size rather than a higher-dose option.

• Bacterial sinus infections
• Middle ear infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Chest and bronchial infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections

• Swallow the Augmine 375 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it at evenly spaced times as prescribed to keep antibiotic levels steady.
• Taking the tablet with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not skip doses, even if you start feeling better before the course is finished.
• Do not take it for a sore throat, cold, or flu unless a healthcare professional says the infection is bacterial.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Augmine 375 mg Tablet provides amoxicillin 250 mg plus clavulanic acid 125 mg. The exact dosing schedule varies by infection, kidney function, and other patient factors, but this strength may be taken several times per day if prescribed. Your doctor decides the total daily amount and the maximum daily dose for your specific condition, and you should not change the dose on your own.

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