Why is this drug prescribed?

Clavulin is used in the treatment of lower respiratory, middle ear, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections that are caused by certain specific bacteria. These bacteria produce a chemical enzyme called beta lactamase that makes some infections particularly difficult to treat. Amox Tr ES-600, a stronger, oral-suspension form of the drug, is prescribed for certain stubborn ear infections that previous treatment has failed to clear up in children two and under, or those attending day care.

Clavulin is an extended-release form of the drug used to treat pneumonia and sinus infections.

Most important fact about Clavulin

If you are allergic to either penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics in any form, consult your doctor before taking Clavulin. You may be allergic to it, and if a reaction occurs, it could be extremely severe. If you take the drug and feel signs of a reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

Clavulin should be taken every 8 or 12 hours, depending on the dosage strength. It may be taken with or without food, but taking it with meals or snacks will help prevent stomach upset. However, the extended-release form, Clavulin, should always be taken with food to improve absorption. Be sure to take all the medicine your doctor has prescribed, even if you begin to feel better. Shake the suspension well. Use a dosing spoon or medicine dropper to give a child the medication; rinse the spoon or dropper after each use. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, and you take 2 doses a day, take the one you missed and the next dose 5 to 6 hours later. If you take 3 doses a day, take the one you missed and the next dose 2 to 4 hours later. Then go back to your regular schedule. --Storage instructions...

Store the suspension under refrigeration and discard after 10 days. Store tablets away from heat, light, and moisture.
