Description:
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, commonly known by the brand name Augmentin, is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It combines two components:
1. **Amoxicillin**: A penicillin-type antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
2. **Clavulanic acid**: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps prevent certain bacteria from becoming resistant to amoxicillin. Clavulanic acid itself is not an antibiotic but enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin by inhibiting the enzymes (beta-lactamases) that some bacteria produce to resist the antibiotic.
Side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Some individuals may also experience allergic reactions, such as rash or itching. It’s important to take the medication as prescribed and to complete the full course, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
