Co-amoxiclav is the British Approved Name, in the British Pharmacopoeia, for the combination antibiotic containing amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. This name, unlike co-trimoxazole, has not been widely adopted internationally and the combination product is usually referred to by various names such as amoxicillin with clavulanic acid or amoxicillin+clavulanate or simply by the trade name. Co-amoxiclav is currently marketed by GlaxoSmithKline under the trade name Augmentin®. The combination of amoxicillin, a β-lactam antibiotic; with clavulanic acid, a β-lactamase inhibitor; results in an antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against β-lactamase producing amoxicillin-resistant bacteria. == Dosage == *Co-amoxiclav sensitive organisms {| border=1 |ADULTS: |- |PRODUCT |UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS |LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS |URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS |SKIN AND SOFT TISSUE INFECTIONS |- |AUGMENTIN 375 |1 - 2 tablets 8 hourly |1 - 2 tablets 8 hourly |1 - 2 tablets 8 hourly |1 - 2 tablets 8 hourly |- |AUGMENTIN 625 |1 tablet 8 hourly |1 tablet 8 hourly |1 tablet 8 hourly |1 tablet 8 hourly |- |AUGMENTIN BD |1 tablet 12 hourly |1 tablet 12 hourly |1 tablet 12 hourly |1 tablet 12 hourly |} == Side effects == Amongst the possible side-effects of this medication are diarrhoea, vomiting and a few other conditions.

There is no mention of what this medication is ment to treat!!! :So "antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against β-lactamase producing amoxicillin-resistant bacteria" isn't informative enough? User:Techelf 12:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
