Augmentin (Amoxycillin + Potassium Clavulanate) 625mg Tablet 14s (Box)

Augmentin 625mg Tablet is a widely trusted antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin-type antibiotic class, combining two active ingredients — Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium — to fight a broad range of bacterial infections effectively. If you've been prescribed this tablet, you should know that like most antibiotics, it can cause some side effects including nausea, diarrhoea, skin rash, and stomach discomfort, which are generally mild and manageable for most people. It's important to complete your full course as directed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better earlier, because stopping too soon can allow bacteria to become resistant.

This medicine is available by prescription, and if you're purchasing it online here in Singapore, you can rest assured that we only stock genuine, pharmacy-grade products sourced through verified pharmaceutical channels. Always let your doctor or pharmacist know about any allergies or other medications you're currently taking before starting Augmentin 625mg.

The commonly recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years is one Augmentin 625mg tablet taken twice or three times daily, depending on the severity and type of infection being treated. Always follow your Singapore-registered doctor's prescribed dosage and never self-adjust the dose, as the appropriate course length and frequency will vary based on your individual medical condition.

Store Augmentin 625mg Tablet in a cool, dry place at a temperature below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging with the lid tightly closed, and ensure they are stored out of reach of children and pets at all times. Avoid storing this medicine in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink, as humidity and temperature fluctuations in these areas can affect the quality and potency of the tablet.

• Always complete the full prescribed course of Augmentin, even if you feel better before finishing, as stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance.
• Take each tablet at the same time every day and with food or at the start of a meal to help reduce stomach upset and improve absorption.
• Do not share Augmentin with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms. This medicine should only be used under the guidance of a licensed doctor in Singapore.
• Do not self-medicate or self-prescribe Augmentin. It is a prescription-only medicine in Singapore and requires a valid prescription from a licensed doctor.
• Inform your doctor if you have any allergies, especially to penicillin or related antibiotics, before starting treatment.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your usual schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time.
• Purchase Augmentin only from licensed pharmacies in Singapore, whether online or in-store, to ensure you receive genuine, quality-assured medication.

Augmentin 625mg Tablet should be taken orally with a full glass of water, and it is best taken at the start of a meal to help reduce the chance of stomach upset and to improve the absorption of the medicine. Always follow your doctor or pharmacist's instructions regarding timing and duration, and try to take each dose at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day to maintain a consistent level of the antibiotic in your body. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless specifically advised by your healthcare provider.

Augmentin 625mg Tablet generally has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored under the correct conditions. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use, and do not consume the tablet if it has passed its expiry date, even if it appears unchanged in appearance. Expired antibiotics should be disposed of safely and responsibly — never flush them down the drain or throw them in regular household waste.

Augmentin 625mg Tablet contains the following two active pharmaceutical ingredients:

• Amoxicillin 500mg — a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that works against a wide range of bacteria.
• Clavulanate Potassium 125mg — a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Amoxicillin from being broken down by resistant bacteria, enhancing its overall effectiveness.

Together, these two ingredients form a powerful combination antibiotic that is effective against bacteria that may otherwise be resistant to Amoxicillin alone.

• You have a known allergy to penicillin, amoxicillin, clavulanate, or any other beta-lactam antibiotics (such as cephalosporins).
• You have a history of severe allergic reactions (hypersensitivity) to any component of this medicine.
• You have previously experienced jaundice or liver problems associated with taking Augmentin or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
• You have severe kidney impairment (unless under close medical supervision with dose adjustment).
• You are taking methotrexate, as the combination may increase the risk of toxicity.
• You have been diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever), as taking amoxicillin in this condition may cause a widespread skin rash.

Drug Interactions

Augmentin 625mg Tablet may interact with certain medications, which can affect how the medicine works or increase the risk of side effects:

• Warfarin and other anticoagulants — Augmentin may enhance the blood-thinning effect, increasing the risk of bleeding; regular INR monitoring is advised.
• Methotrexate — Amoxicillin can reduce the kidney clearance of methotrexate, potentially leading to toxic levels in the body.
• Probenecid — May increase and prolong the blood levels of amoxicillin by reducing its kidney excretion.
• Allopurinol — Combined use may increase the risk of skin rash.
• Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) — Augmentin may potentially reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives; consider using additional contraceptive methods during and shortly after the course.
• Other antibiotics — Concurrent use with bacteriostatic antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, chloramphenicol) may reduce the effectiveness of Augmentin.

Food Interactions

• Alcohol — While not strictly contraindicated, consuming alcohol during antibiotic treatment is generally discouraged as it may worsen side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and stomach upset.
• High-fat meals — May slightly delay absorption but do not significantly reduce effectiveness; taking the tablet at the start of a regular meal is generally recommended.
• Probiotic-rich foods (e.g., yoghurt) — May help reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and are generally safe to consume alongside this medication.
