Amoxicillin Sodium and Clavulanate Potassium for Injection

Function and Efficacy

This product is a compound preparation of amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium. Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. Clavulanate potassium itself has only weak antibacterial activity, but has a strong broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitory effect. The combination of the two can protect amoxicillin from β-lactamase hydrolysis. The antibacterial spectrum of this product is the same as that of amoxicillin, and has been expanded. It has a good effect on enzyme-producing Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, coagulase-negative Staphylococci and enterococci. It also has good antibacterial activity against some β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Bacteroides fragilis, etc. This product has no effect on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter, which produce chromosome-mediated type I enzymes, and Pseudomonas.

Ingredients

This product is a compound preparation, its components are amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium, the ratio of the two is 5:1.

After symptomatic treatment, the drug can be continued. 2 Urticaria and rash may occur occasionally (especially in patients with infectious mononucleosis). If they occur, the drug should be discontinued and symptomatic treatment should be given. 3 Anaphylactic shock, drug fever, and asthma may occur. 4 Elevated serum aminotransferase, eosinophilia, leukopenia, and superinfection caused by Candida or drug-resistant bacteria may occur occasionally. 5 Literature reports that some patients developed phlebitis at the injection site.

Precautions

It is contraindicated for patients with positive penicillin skin test reaction, those who are allergic to this product and other penicillins, and those with infectious mononucleosis.

Drug Interactions

1 Aspirin, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, and sulfonamides can reduce the excretion of this product in the renal tubules, thereby increasing the blood concentration of this product, prolonging the blood elimination half-life (t1/2β), and the toxicity may also increase. 2 When this product is used in combination with allopurinol, the incidence of rash increases significantly, so the combination should be avoided. 3 This product should not be used in combination with acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors such as disulfiram. 4 When this product is used in combination with chloramphenicol for bacterial meningitis, the incidence of long-term sequelae is higher than when either is used alone. 5 This product can stimulate estrogen metabolism or reduce its enterohepatic circulation, thereby reducing the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. 6 Chloramphenicol, erythromycin

Storage

Keep tightly closed in a dark, cool and dry place.
