AUGMENTIN 600 MG VIAL FOR I.V. INF

AMOXICILLIN IS AN ANALOG OF AMPICILLIN DERIVED FROM THE BASIC PENICILLIN NUCLEUS 6-AMINOPENICILLANIC ACID CLAVULANIC ACID IS PRODUCED BY THE FERMENTATION OF STREPTOMYCES CLAVULIGERUS. IT IS A BETA-LACTAM STRUCTURALLY RELATED TO THE PENICILLINS AND POSSESSES THE ABILITY TO INACTIVATE SOME BETA-LACTAMASES BY BLOCKING THE ACTIVE SITES OF THESE ENZYMES. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS � CAUSED BY BETA-LACTAMASE�PRODUCING ISOLATES OF HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE AND MORAXELLA CATARRHALIS. ACUTE BACTERIAL OTITIS MEDIA � CAUSED BY BETA-LACTAMASE�PRODUCING ISOLATES OF H. INFLUENZAE AND M. CATARRHALIS. SINUSITIS � CAUSED BY BETA-LACTAMASE�PRODUCING ISOLATES OF H. INFLUENZAE AND M. CATARRHALIS. SKIN AND SKIN STRUCTURE INFECTIONS � CAUSED BY BETA-LACTAMASE�PRODUCING ISOLATES OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ESCHERICHIA COLI AND KLEBSIELLA SPECIES. URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS � CAUSED BY BETA-LACTAMASE�PRODUCING ISOLATES OF E. COLI KLEBSIELLA SPECIES AND ENTEROBACTER SPECIES.
