Moxiclav 1gm 14Tab

Description

Moxiclav 1gm 14Tab is a combination antibiotic containing amoxicillin trihydrate and potassium clavulanate. Each tablet provides a total of 1 gram (1000mg) of active ingredients, typically 875mg of amoxicillin and 125mg of clavulanic acid. The package contains 14 tablets. Moxiclav is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. The clavulanic acid helps to prevent bacteria from inactivating amoxicillin, making it effective against more types of bacteria. Key information includes:

• Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Combination: Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that kills bacteria by interfering with their ability to build cell walls. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps amoxicillin work by preventing bacterial enzymes from breaking it down.
• 1g (1000mg) Strength: Each tablet contains a total of 1 gram of active ingredients (amoxicillin and clavulanic acid). The specific ratio may vary slightly between brands.
• 14 Tablets per Pack: The 14-tablet pack is a common quantity for a one-week course of antibiotic treatment, depending on the prescribed dosage.
• Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic: Moxiclav is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it useful for treating various infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and others.
• Prescription Medication: Moxiclav requires a prescription from a doctor. The type of infection, its severity, and the patient’s individual factors determine the dosage and duration of treatment.
• Dosage and Administration: The usual dose for adults and children over 40 kg is one 1g tablet twice daily. It is usually taken orally with food to help reduce potential gastrointestinal side effects and improve absorption. Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects can include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and rash. Serious side effects, although less common, can include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. Report any unusual or severe symptoms to your doctor immediately.
• Important Precautions: Inform your doctor if you are allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, or if you have any kidney problems or liver disease. It’s important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you start to feel better, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
