Clavam -XR Tablet (1000 mg+62.5 mg)

Clavam -XR Tablet (1000 mg+62.5 mg) is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains amoxicillin 1000 mg and clavulanic acid 62.5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the penicillin-type antibiotic class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Clavam -XR Tablet is commonly chosen for infections such as respiratory, ear, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections when a doctor wants broad antibacterial coverage. Because it is an extended-release tablet, it is designed to release medicine over time rather than all at once.

How it works: Amoxicillin kills susceptible bacteria by stopping them from building a strong cell wall, which weakens and destroys the germs. Clavulanic acid helps protect amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that would otherwise break it down, so the tablet can work better against some resistant bacteria.

Clavam -XR Tablet (1000 mg+62.5 mg) is a higher-strength tablet, so it is usually suited for adults or older teens whose infection and medical history have been assessed by a doctor. This strength is not the same as lower-strength products because each tablet delivers a larger amoxicillin amount in one dose, which may be useful when a stronger once-daily or twice-daily regimen is needed.

• Bacterial sinus infections
• Ear infections
• Chest and throat infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Dental bacterial infections

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor tells you to.
• Take Clavam -XR Tablet with food or at the start of a meal to help reduce stomach upset and improve tolerability.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep a steady amount of medicine in your body.
• Finish the full course even if you feel better early, unless your prescriber tells you to stop.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for missed doses without checking the directions given by your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Clavam -XR Tablet provides 1000 mg of amoxicillin plus 62.5 mg of clavulanic acid per tablet. The exact frequency can vary by infection severity, kidney function, and your doctor’s plan; this higher-strength tablet is often prescribed once or twice daily, and the maximum total per day should be set by the prescriber rather than self-chosen.

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