What it is
This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic, and clavulanic acid, which helps prevent bacteria from destroying the amoxicillin. It belongs to a class of antibiotics that include a beta-lactamase inhibitor, making it effective against bacteria that produce resistance enzymes.

It is used to treat infections in adults and children, including lower respiratory tract infections (like pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis), acute bacterial otitis media (middle ear infections), sinusitis, and skin and skin structure infections (including those caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli).
Common side effects
The most common side effects include diarrhea or loose stools (9%), nausea (3%), skin rashes and hives (3%), vomiting (1%), and vaginal yeast infection (1%). Serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions, severe skin reactions, liver problems, and diarrhea caused by Clostridioides difficile can occur. Contact your doctor if you experience any severe symptoms.
Important cautions
Do not use this medicine if you have had a serious allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome) to amoxicillin, clavulanate, or other beta-lactam antibiotics (like penicillins or cephalosporins). Also avoid it if you have had liver problems or jaundice related to this medicine before. Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you develop a rash suggestive of mononucleosis. Stop use and seek medical help if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, severe skin rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or persistent diarrhea.
