Co-Amoxiclav (amoxicillin, clavulanic acid) is an antibiotic used to treat a range of bacterial infections, from pneumonia to bites from people or animals.

The medication contains two active ingredients:

• Amoxicillin inhibits the ability of certain strains of bacteria to reproduce, spread, or otherwise thrive;
• Clavulanic acid enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin, making it potent enough to work on bacteria that may be resistant to amoxicillin alone.

Together the two medications present a potent enemy to bacteria susceptible to it. Do not, however, buy Co-Amoxiclav to treat unidentified infections; odds are that the medication will not be very effective against it and will contribute to resistant strains of bacteria.

Overcoming Bacterial Infection with Co-Amoxiclav

Patients buy Co-Amoxiclav for a wide variety of infections, including:

• Otitis media
• Sinusitis
• Strep throat
• Respiratory tract infections
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Bronchitis or pneumonia
• Tuberculosis
• Cellulitis
• Animal or human bites
• Urinary tract infections

As mentioned above, ideally the medication is taken only after the bacteria causing the infection are identified. Dosage and duration of treatment may vary slightly depending on the type and severity of the infection. However, in otherwise healthy adults, treatment is roughly similar:

• Take one 250 mg amoxicillin tablet every 8 hours or one 500 mg tablet every 12 hours.
• In cases of severe infection, 500 mg every 8 hours may be given.
• Taking with food is not necessary, but is recommended to reduce stomach upset.
• Try to take each dose at the same time each day to keep levels of the drug consistent.
• Treatment typically lasts 10 days, but may be a bit shorter or longer; it is rare for treatment to extend beyond 14 days.
• Never stop treatment early; doing so contributes to resistant bacteria.

Treatment in children is highly variable depending on weight, age and other considerations; wait to buy Co-Amoxiclav until speaking with a doctor for ideal dosage.

Co-Amoxiclav is particularly beneficial, when compared to amoxicillin alone, in cases where the infection is caused by bacteria that are susceptible to amoxicillin but are resistant to amoxicillin alone. This is because amoxicillin is the primary antibiotic of the two medications; the clavulanic acid simply enhances amoxicillin's effects, allowing the medication to work by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria.

Note that patients allergic to penicillin are likely to experience an allergic reaction to Co-Amoxiclav. Likewise, patients that experience an allergic reaction to Co-Amoxiclav are likely to have reactions to other antibiotics in the penicillin family. If concerned about allergic reactions, most doctor offices offer inexpensive allergy tests.
