Overview
Augmentin 625mg Tablet contains amoxicillin 500mg and clavulanic acid 125mg, a combination of a penicillin-class antibiotic with a beta-lactamase inhibitor, used to treat a range of bacterial infections such as respiratory tract, ear, sinus, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible, beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
Amoxicillin kills bacteria by interfering with the formation of their cell walls, causing the bacteria to burst and die. Clavulanic acid does not have significant antibacterial activity on its own but blocks the beta-lactamase enzyme that many bacteria use to inactivate amoxicillin, restoring amoxicillin’s effectiveness against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.
How it Works
Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis, weakening the wall until the bacterial cell ruptures. Clavulanic acid irreversibly inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by many resistant bacteria, protecting amoxicillin from being broken down and extending the range of bacteria this combination can treat.
Directions for Use
Take Augmentin 625mg Tablet at the start of a meal to reduce stomach upset and improve absorption, spacing your doses as evenly as possible through the day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, and do not skip doses, as maintaining a steady level of antibiotic in the body is important for it to work effectively.
Dosage
The usual dose of Augmentin 625mg Tablet for adults is one tablet every 8-12 hours, depending on the severity and type of infection, for a course usually lasting 5-14 days as determined by your doctor. Always complete the full course exactly as prescribed, even if you feel better before finishing it, to reduce the risk of the infection returning or becoming resistant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Augmentin 625mg Tablet used for?
Augmentin 625mg Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory, ear, sinus, urinary tract, skin, or soft tissue infections. Your doctor will confirm the specific infection it has been prescribed for.
Why do I need to finish the whole course even if I feel better?
Stopping early can leave surviving bacteria that may cause the infection to return, sometimes in a form that is harder to treat because it has become more resistant to the antibiotic.
Can I take this medicine if I am allergic to penicillin?
No, this medicine contains a penicillin-class antibiotic and must not be used if you have a known penicillin allergy. Tell your doctor about any previous drug allergies before starting treatment.
Does this medicine affect birth control pills?
