Refine your knowledge about respiratory diseases and learn about the symptoms, diagnoses, and antibiotic therapies of acute otitis media (AOM), sinusitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB), and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Also see detailed treatment guidelines for each of the above respiratory diseases for up-to-date information on treating your patients." http://www.augmentin.com/ ****************************************************** Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate), Side Effects, Centerwatch.com:"The side effects of Augmentin, which are primarily mild and self-limiting, include diarrhea and nausea. In adult subjects treated for more severe infections during clinical trials, there was a 60% reduction in the number of subjects experiencing severe diarrhea or withdrawing from trials because of diarrhea." http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/drugs/dru60.html ****************************************************** AUGMENTIN - Free Drug Locator - DestinationRx:"Please use the contact and program information below to get AUGMENTIN free of charge." http://www.destinationrx.com/freedrug/info.asp?drugid=214 ****************************************************** Doctors' Answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" - Augmentin, druginfonet.com:"Recently I was prescribed Augmentin for a skin/soft tissue infection. The day after I started taking it I noticed blood in my stool. I ignored it because my doctor had told me that the medicine would mess up my digestive system. Subsequently, a week later I was admitted to the hospital having severe blood loss. I quit the Augmentin the day before I went to the Hospital. In about four days there was no trace of blood and no one was able to find the cause. Is there any reason to think the augmentin did not cause this bleeding?" http://www.druginfonet.com/faq/faqaugm.htm ****************************************************** Clinical Pharmacology, genrx.com:"Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium are well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration of amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium. Dosing in the fasted or fed state has minimal effect on the pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin. While amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium can be given without regard to meals, absorption of clavulanate potassium when taken with food is greater relative to the fasted state. In one study, the relative bioavailability of clavulanate was reduced when amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium was dosed at 30 and 150 minutes after the start of a high fat breakfast. The safety and efficacy of amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium have been established in clinical trials where amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium was taken without regard to meals. Approximately 50-70% of the amoxicillin and approximately 25-40% of the clavulanic acid are excreted unchanged in urine during the first 6 hours after administration of 10 ml of amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium 250 mg/5 ml suspension." http://www.genrx.com/genrxfree/Top_200_1999/Drugs/E0232.htm ****************************************************** Augmentin, Healthsquare.com:"Augmentin is used in the treatment of lower respiratory, middle ear, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections that are caused by certain specific bacteria. These bacteria produce a chemical enzyme called beta lactamase that makes some infections particularly difficult to treat. Augmentin ES-600, a stronger, oral-suspension form of the drug, is prescribed for certain stubborn ear infections that previous treatment has failed to clear up in children two and under, or those attending day care." http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/aug1038.htm ****************************************************** New Study Confirms Superiority of Augmentin to Zithromax in Treating Middle Ear Infections, kidsource.com:"Augmentin(R) (amoxicillin/clavulanate), an oral antibiotic, is more effective than Zithromax(R) (azithromycin) in eradicating the most common bacteria that cause middle ear infections (acute otitis media, or AOM) in children, according to a new study published in the February issue of the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal. The study also shows that Augmentin is more effective in reducing or curing the symptoms associated with AOM." http://www.kidsource.com/health/ear.infect.medicine.html ****************************************************** Augmentin Cleared for a More Convenient Pediatric Dosing Regimen in U.S., PSLgroup.com:"SmithKline Beecham (SB) (NYSE: SBH) announced today that it has received U.S. marketing clearance for a more convenient pediatric dosing regimen of Augmentin amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium), one of the most frequently used antibiotics for infections involving drug-resistant bacteria. Also cleared were new pediatric formulations in new dosage strengths." http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/934e.htm ****************************************************** Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, RXlist.com:"Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium are well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration of amoxicillin; clavulanate potassium.

University of Michigan Health System:"Augmentin (aug-MEN-tin) is a nonaddictive prescription penicillin medicine widely used to treat bacterial infections by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. It works by destroying susceptible bacteria, but does not kill viruses. It may take several days before the medicine affects the infection. Augmentin is usually prescribed in tablet, capsule or liquid form. Follow your doctor's dosage recommendations to the letter and if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, then continue on the regular schedule." University of Michigan Health System 1500 E.
