Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium is also contraindicated in patients with a previous history of cholestatic jaundice/hepatic dysfunction associated with amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. While amoxicillin/clavulanate possesses the characteristic low toxicity of the penicillin group of antibiotics, periodic assessment of organ system functions, including renal, hepatic, and hematopoietic function, is advisable if therapy is for longer than the drug is approved for administration. Prescribing amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for oral suspension, in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium inhibits transpeptidase, preventing cross-linking of bacterial cell wall and leading to cell death. Addition of clavulanate increases drug's resistance to beta-lactamase. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in a group of drugs called penicillin. Amoxicillin fights bacteria in the body. Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium is a form of clavulanic acid, which is similar to penicillin. Clavulanate potassium fights bacteria that are often resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium is a penicillin antibiotic and should not be used by patients with a history of penicillin allergy. There is a relatively low incidence of cross-allergy with beta-lactic and cephalosporin antibiotics, but amoxicillin or clavulanate should be used cautiously in patients with these allergies. Amoxicillin or clavulanate can produce false positive results in urine tests for glucose. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium is a combination medicine that is used for treating various types of infections in adults and children. It is an antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from making cell walls, which eventually causes the bacteria to die. This drug is available by prescription and comes in several different forms, including chewable tablets, tablets, and a liquid. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium should be used with caution in patients with evidence of hepatic dysfunction.

Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets are generally well tolerated. The majority of side effects observed in clinical trials were of a mild and transient nature and less than 3% of patients discontinued therapy because of drug-related side effects. The most frequently reported adverse effects were diarrhea/loose stools (9%), nausea (3%), skin rashes and urticaria (3%), vomiting (1%) and vaginitis (1%). The overall incidence of side effects, and in particular diarrhea, increased with the higher recommended dose.
