Augmentin - Overview

Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) is an antibacterial medication indicated for use in treating or preventing infections thought to be caused by bacteria susceptible to Augmentin medication. Push Health can connect people who might need an Augmentin prescription with licensed medical providers who can prescribe Augmentin medication, including Augmentin 875 mg - 125 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Augmentin Used For?

Some people have heard of using Augmentin for UTIs, Augmentin for strep throat or Augmentin for sinus infections. But what is Augmentin and what is it actually used for? Augmentin is an oral antibacterial medication that combines amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. By being combined with clavulanic acid in Augmentin, amoxicillin becomes less susceptible to degradation and extends the spectrum of coverage to additional bacteria. Augmentin medication is indicated for the treatment of specific types of lower respiratory infections, otitis media, sinusitis, skin infections, and urinary tract infections.

Augmentin - Dosage and Metabolism

A commonly used version of Augmentin tablets is Augmentin 875 -125 which consists of amoxicillin 875 mg and clavulanic acid 125 mg. At many pharmacies, the cost of Augmentin tablets is eighty cents per pill which makes it only moderately affordable. Fortunately, Augmentin prescription medication is usually taken for a limited period of time and some insurance plans may even cover the cost of the antibiotic. Augmentin coupons may also be available through pharmacies or online at times. Augmentin is well absorbed after being taken orally. The half life of the components of Augmentin after oral administration is generally under two hours and remain mildly bound to proteins. A percentage of the clavulanic acid and amoxicillin in Augmentin tablets is excreted in the urine.

Can I Buy Augmentin Online?

Augmentin is a prescription medication and, as a result, Augmentin OTC (over-the-counter) in the United States. One of the reasons that Augmentin tablets are available by prescription only is because of concerns that bacterial resistance to Augmentin can become more widespread with overuse. However, Push Health can connect people who might need an Augmentin prescription with medical providers who can prescribe Augmentin medication, Augmentin 875 mg - 125 mg pills, when appropriate to do so.

Augmentin - Side Effects

Augmentin medication, like other types of antibiotics and medications, can cause side effects when used. Side effects related to Augmentin tablet use are generally mild and include, but are not limited to, diarrhea, nausea, rash and vomiting. More severe reactions can occur if one has an allergy or hypersensitivity to Augmentin which is why people who have a known hypersensitivity should not use the medication. Augmentin medication and alcohol should not be used together. All concerns regarding the use of Augmentin prescription medication and potential side effects should be directed to one's medical provider and pharmacist prior to use.
