TRICLAV is a combination antibiotic suspension used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs, ears, sinuses, and skin.

What it is

This is a combination antibiotic that contains amoxicillin (a penicillin) and clavulanic acid (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). It is used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin alone.

What it's used for

It is used for infections such as lower respiratory tract infections, acute bacterial otitis media (ear infections), sinusitis, and skin and skin structure infections, when these are caused by susceptible bacteria.

Common side effects

The most common side effects include diarrhoea or loose stools, nausea, skin rash or hives, vomiting, and vaginal itching or discharge.

Important cautions

Do not use this medicine if you have ever had a serious allergic reaction to any penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotic. Stop taking it and seek medical help if you develop signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) or severe skin reactions. Contact your doctor if you develop jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) or persistent diarrhoea, as these may indicate liver problems or a serious bowel infection.
