AUGMENTIN is a broad-spectrum (effective against many types of bacteria and microbes) antibacterial drug and works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It contains two different active ingredients called amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is from a group of medicines called “penicillins” that can sometimes be inactivated (stopped from working), while the other active ingredient, clavulanic acid, prevents the inactivation of amoxicillin.

AUGMENTIN 500 mg/125 mg film-coated tablets are available in blister packages, in the form of 10, 14 and 20 pieces, white to almost white, oval-shaped, film-coated tablets with AUGMENTIN written on one side and BID 625 written on the other side.

Raw material obtained from cow’s milk is used in the production of potassium clavulanate, which is equivalent to the clavulanic acid activity contained in AUGMENTIN.
