Augmentin Tablets 375mg

Uses of Augmentin Tablets 375mg

Augmentin Tablets 375mg are used wherever a broader antibacterial spectrum or beta-lactamase protection is required. The combination increases the chance of successful treatment for many common community and clinic infections.

Respiratory Tract Infections

Augmentin 375mg is effective for sinusitis, acute bronchitis exacerbations, community-acquired pneumonia, and tonsillitis — especially when organisms may produce beta-lactamase and resist plain amoxicillin.

Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Infections

The tablet is frequently used for otitis media, pharyngitis and other ENT infections where a reliable oral antibiotic with beta-lactamase protection is preferred.

Dental & Oral Infections

Augmentin Tablets 375mg are commonly prescribed for dental abscesses, infected tooth sockets after extraction, and other odontogenic infections to control spreading bacterial infection.

Skin and Soft Tissue Infections

This formulation treats cellulitis, wound infections and infected ulcers — situations where mixed flora and beta-lactamase producing organisms are possible.

Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

For certain uncomplicated UTIs caused by susceptible organisms, Augmentin 375mg can be an appropriate oral option when guided by local resistance patterns or prescriber judgment.

Ingredients

Augmentin Tablets 375mg contain: Amoxicillin trihydrate (equivalent to 250mg amoxicillin) and Potassium clavulanate (equivalent to 125mg clavulanic acid).

How Augmentin Tablets 375mg Work

Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that kills susceptible bacteria by disrupting cell wall synthesis. Some bacteria produce beta-lactamase enzymes that deactivate amoxicillin; clavulanic acid (from potassium clavulanate) inhibits these enzymes. By protecting amoxicillin from degradation, the combination restores activity against beta-lactamase producing strains and broadens the antibiotic spectrum for more reliable treatment.
