Amoxyclav 1.2 gm Injection

Amoxyclav 1.2 gm Injection combines amoxicillin, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic, with clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from being broken down by resistant bacteria. It is typically used in hospital settings for moderate to severe infections.

• Severe respiratory tract infections
• Complicated urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Bone, joint and intra-abdominal infections
• Surgical prophylaxis

Amoxicillin blocks bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing the bacteria to rupture. Clavulanic acid neutralises beta-lactamase enzymes that some bacteria produce to inactivate penicillins, restoring the antibiotic's effectiveness.

This injection is given by a trained healthcare professional into a vein, as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the full course even if you feel better.

• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Pain at the injection site
• Skin rash
• Headache

Tell your doctor about any allergy to penicillins or cephalosporins, kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Stop and seek help immediately for any sign of allergic reaction.

Store the unopened vial below 25 degrees Celsius, protected from light and moisture, and keep out of reach of children.
