Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, indigestion, rash and urticaria, candida superinfection. Potentially Fatal: Anaphylactic reaction with CV collapse esp with parenteral use.

Drug Interactions

Allopurinol may reduce renal tubular secretion of amoxicillin thus increasing the serum levels of amoxicillin. Concurrent use may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives.

Contraindications

Penicillin allergy.

Mechanism of Action

Clavulanic acid has a high affinity for and binds to certain β-lactamases that generally inactivate amoxicillin by hydrolyzing its β-lactam ring. Combining clavulanate potassium with amoxicillin extends the antibacterial spectrum of amoxicillin to include many bacteria normally resistant to amoxicillin and other penicillins and cephalosporins. Distribution: Protein binding: About 25% (Clavulanic acid); about 18% (Amoxicillin). Amoxicillin distributes readily into most body tissues and fluids except the brain and spinal fluid. Excretion: Half-life after oral admin: 1.3 hr (Amoxicillin); 1 hr (Clavulanic acid). About 50-70% of amoxicillin and 25-40% of clavulanic acid are excreted unchanged in urine during the 1st 6 hr after admin.

Special Precautions

History of allergy especially to cephalosporins, infectious mononucleosis, severe renal impairment.
