Augmentin is a brand name for a combination antibiotic medication that contains two active ingredients, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Each tablet of Augmentin 6 tablet contains 500 mg of amoxicillin and 125 mg of clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria in the body, while clavulanic acid helps to prevent bacteria from becoming resistant to the amoxicillin. This combination is effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and ear infections. Augmentin may cause side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. If you experience any severe side effects or allergic reactions, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
