About this item
Augmentin 228.5mg/5ml is an oral suspension usually provided as a dry powder that must be reconstituted (mixed with water) by a pharmacist. It is designed to be palatable for children and provides dual-action support: while the amoxicillin kills the bacteria, the clavulanic acid protects the amoxicillin from being destroyed by the bacteria's defense enzymes.
Dosage of Augmentin Syrup This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). The dose is strictly calculated by a doctor based on the child's weight, age, and the severity of the infection.
- Typical Dose: Usually administered twice daily (every 12 hours).
- Measurement: Always use the oral dosing syringe or measuring spoon provided to ensure the exact dose is given.
Proper Administration
- With Food: To minimize potential stomach upset and improve absorption, give Augmentin at the start of a meal or with a light snack.
- Shake Well: Always shake the bottle vigorously before each dose to ensure the medicine is evenly distributed.
- Complete the Course: Crucial: Even if the child feels better after a few days, you MUST finish the entire course prescribed by the doctor. Stopping early allows the strongest bacteria to survive and develop resistance.
- Consistency: Try to give the doses at the same time every day to keep a steady level of antibiotic in the child's system.
How to Store and Dispose of Augmentin Syrup
- Before Mixing: Store the dry powder at room temperature.
- After Mixing (Reconstituted): Store in a refrigerator (2°C – 8°C). Do not freeze.
- The 7–10 Day Rule: Discard any remaining liquid after the duration specified by your pharmacist (usually 7 or 10 days).
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused portions to the pharmacy.
Quick Tips for Augmentin Syrup
- Probiotics: Antibiotics can kill "good" gut bacteria, sometimes leading to diarrhea. Giving your child a pediatric probiotic or yogurt can help maintain gut balance.
- Hydration: Encourage the child to drink plenty of fluids during the course of treatment.
- Diaper Rash: In infants, antibiotics can sometimes cause yeast-based diaper rash. Keep the area dry and use a barrier cream if needed.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Augmentin Syrup
- Penicillin Allergy: Do NOT use if the child has a known allergy to Penicillins, Cephalosporins, or Amoxicillin.
- History of Jaundice: Do NOT use if the child has previously experienced liver problems or jaundice while taking Augmentin.
- Glandular Fever: Avoid use if infectious mononucleosis is suspected, as it may cause a widespread skin rash.
Side Effects of Augmentin Syrup
- Common: Diarrhea, nausea, or oral thrush (white patches in the mouth).
- Less Common: Mild skin rash or vomiting.
- Serious: Severe allergic reactions (swelling of face/lips, difficulty breathing), or severe watery diarrhea with stomach cramps.
- Action: If the child develops a hives-like rash or has difficulty breathing, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Allergy Check: Inform your doctor if the child has asthma or hay fever, as they may be more prone to allergic reactions.
- Liver & Kidney: Inform the doctor if the child has any known kidney or liver impairment.
- Pack Size: Usually 35ml or 70ml bottle (dry powder for reconstitution).
- Manufacturer: GSK (GlaxoSmithKline).
- Form: Oral Suspension.
- Active Ingredients: Amoxicillin 200mg + Clavulanic Acid 28.5mg per 5ml.
