AUGMENTIN
TABLET

Augmentin Indications
: Tablet/Syrup:
For the short-term treatment of bacterial infections
at the following sites when amoxycillin resistant
to b-lactamase-producing strains are suspected as
the cause. In other situations, amoxycillin alone
should be considered. Upper respiratory tract infections
(including ear, nose and throat), in particular
sinusitis, otitis media, recurrent tonsillitis.
These infections are often caused by Streptococcus
pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae*, Moraxella catarrhalis*
and Streptococcus pyogenes. Lower respiratory tract
infections, in particular acute exacerbations of
chronic bronchitis (especially if considered severe),
bronchopneumonia. These infections are often caused
by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae*
and Moraxella catarrhalis*. Urinary tract infections,
in particular cystitis (especially when recurrent
or complicated, excluding prostatitis). These infections
are often caused by Enterobacteriaceae* (mainly
Escherichia coli*), Staphylococcus saprophyticus,
Enterococcus sp*. Skin and soft tissue infections,
in particular cellulitis and severe dental abscess
with spreading cellulitis. These infections are
often caused by Staphylococcus aureus*, Streptococcus
pyogenes and Bacteroides sp*. A comprehensive list
of sensitive organisms is provided in Microbiology
under Actions. *Some members of these species of
bacteria produce b-lactamase, rendering them insensitive
to amoxycillin alone. Mixed infections caused by
amoxycillin-susceptible organisms in conjunction
with Augmentin-susceptible b-lactamase-producing
organisms may be treated with Augmentin syrup 228
mg/mL and 457 mg/5 mL. These infections should not
require the addition of another antibiotic resistant
to b-lactamases. Augmentin IV is also indicated
for the short-term treatment of bacterial infections
and prophylaxis against infections which may be
associated with major surgical procedures involving
gastrointestinal, pelvic, head and neck, cardiac,
renal, biliary tract and joint replacement surgeries.

Augmentin Dosage
: Tablet: Usual Dosage for
the Treatment of Infection: Adults and Children >12
years: Mild to Moderate Infections: One 375-mg tab
3 times a day or every 8 hrs; or one 625-mg tab 2
times a day, or every 12 hrs. Severe Infections: One
625-mg tab 3 times a day or every 8 hrs; or one 1-g
tab 2 times a day or every 12 hrs. Therapy can be
started parenterally and continued with an oral preparation.
Dental Infections (eg, dentoalveolar abscess): Adults
and Children >12 years:One 375-mg tab 3 times a day
(or every 8 hrs) or one 625-mg tab 2 times a day (or
every 12 hrs), for 5 days. Renal Impairment: Adults:
The 1-g tab should only be used in patients with a
creatinine clearance rate of >30 mL/min. (See Table
2.) Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution; monitor
hepatic function at regular intervals. Tablets should
be swallowed whole without chewing. If required, tablets
may be broken in half and swallowed without chewing.
Syrup: Children: 156-mg Syrup: Usual Recommended Daily
Dosage: 25 mg/kg/day+ in divided doses every 8 hrs.
The following presents guidance for children: Children
>6 years (18-40 kg): 10 mL of the 156-mg syrup 3 times
a day or every 8 hrs; 1-6 years (10-18 kg): 5 mL of
the 156-mg syrup 3 times a day or every 8 hrs; <1
year: 25 mg/kg/day+, eg a 7.5-kg child would require
2 mL of the 156-mg syrup 3 times a day or every 8
hrs. In more serious infections, the dosage may be
increased up to 50 mg/kg/day in divided doses every
8 hrs. +Each 25-mg Augmentin provides amoxicillin
20 mg and clavulanic acid 5 mg. 228-/457-mg Syrup:
Usual Recommended Daily Dosage: 25/3.6 mg/kg/day in
mild to moderate infections (upper respiratory tract
infections, eg recurrent tonsillitis, lower respiratory
infections, and skin and soft tissue infections).
45/6.4 mg/kg/day for the treatment of more serious
infections (upper respiratory tract infections, eg
otitis media and sinusitis, lower respiratory tract
infections, eg bronchopneumonia and urinary tract
infections). Tables 2 and 3 as follows give guidance
for children. Children >2 years: See Table 3. Children
2 months to 2 years: s: See Table 4. Children <2 years
should be dosed according to body weight. There is
insufficient experience with Augmentin syrup 228 mg/5
mL and 457 mg/5 mL to make dosage recommendations
for children <2 months. Infants with Immature Kidney
Function: For children with immature renal function,
Augmentin syrup 228 mg/5 mL and 457 mg/5 mL are not
recommended. Renal Impairment: For children with a
GFR of >30 mL/min, no adjustment in dosage is required.
For children with a GFR of <30 mL/min, Augmentin syrup
228 mg/5 mL and 457 mg/5 mL are not recommended. Hepatic
Impairment: Dose with caution; monitor hepatic function
at regular intervals. There is, as yet, insufficient
evidence on which to base a dosage recommendation.
To minimise potential gastrointestinal intolerance,
administer the drug at the start of a meal. The absorption
of Augmentin is optimised when taken at the start
of a meal. Treatment should not be extended beyond
14 days without review. Instructions for Use/Handling:
Glass Bottles: At time of dispensing, the dry powder
should be reconstituted to form an oral suspension,
as detailed in Table 5. Sachets: Single-dose sachets
contain powder for a 2.5-mL dose of Augmentin syrup
457 mg/5 mL. Directions for Use: Check that the sachet
is intact before use. Cut sachet along dotted line.
Empty contents into a glass. Half fill sachet with
water. Pour into a glass, stir to mix. Drink immediately
upon reconstitution. If 2 or 4 sachets have to be
taken at once, then they can be mixed in the same
glass. IV Injection: Note: Patients who respond to
Augmentin IV therapy can thereafter be changed to
the appropriate oral presentation of Augmentin. Usual
Dosage by IV Injection or Infusion: Adults and Children
>12 years: Usually 1.2 g of Augmentin 8-hourly. In
more serious infections, increase frequency to 6-hourly
intervals. Children 3 months to 12 years: Usually,
30 mg/kg* Augmentin 8-hourly. In serious infections,
increase frequency to 6-hourly intervals; 0-3 months:
30 mg/kg* Augmentin every 12 hrs in premature infants
and in full-term infants during the perinatal period,
increasing to 8 hrs thereafter. *Each 30-mg Augmentin
IV contains amoxicillin 25 mg and clavulanic acid
5 mg. For Surgical Prophylaxis: Surgical prophylaxis
with Augmentin should aim to protect the patient for
the period of risk of infection. Accordingly, procedures
lasting for <1 hr are successfully covered in adults
by administering 1.2 g IV at induction of anaesthesia.
Longer operations require subsequent doses of 1.2-g
Augmentin IV (up to 4 doses in 24 hrs) and this regimen
can be continued for several days if the procedure
has significantly increased the risk of infection.
Clear clinical signs of infection at operation will
require a normal course of IV or oral Augmentin therapy
postoperatively. Renal Impairment: Adults: Mild Impairment
(creatinine clearance >30 mL/min): No change in dosage.
Moderate Impairment (creatinine clearance 10-30 mL/min):
1.2 g IV immediately, followed by 600 mg IV 12-hourly.
Severe Impairment (creatinine clearance <10 mL/min):
1.2 g IV immediately, followed by 600 mg IV 24-hourly.
Dialysis decreases serum concentrations of Augmentin
and an additional 600-mg IV dose may need to be given
during dialysis and at the end of dialysis. Children:
Similar reductions in dosage should be made for children.
Treatment for adults and children should not be extended
beyond 14 days without review. Preparation and Administration:
Augmentin IV may be administered either by IV injection
or by intermittent infusion. It is not suitable for
IM administration. 600-mg Vial: To reconstitute, dissolve
contents in 10 mL of Water for Injections BP (final
volume 10.5 mL). 1.2-g Vial: To reconstitute, dissolve
contents in 20 mL of Water for Injections BP (final
volume 20.9 mL). A transient pink colouration may
appear during reconstitution. Reconstituted solutions
are normally a pale-straw colour. IV Injection: Administer
slowly, over a period of 3-4 min. Augmentin may be
injected directly into a vein or via a drip tube.
IV Infusion: Add 600-mg reconstituted solution to
50-mL infusion fluid or 1.2-g reconstituted solution
to 100-mL infusion fluid (eg, preferably using a minibag
or in-line burette).* Appropriate infusion fluids
are listed under Cautions for Usage. The infusion
should be given over 30-40 min. *Solutions should
be made up to full infusion volume immediately after
reconstitution. Any residual antibiotic solutions
should be discarded. |

Augmentin Precautions
: Changes in liver function tests have been observed
in some patients receiving Augmentin. The clinical
significance of these changes is uncertain but Augmentin
should be used with caution in patients with evidence
of severe hepatic dysfunction. Cholestatic jaundice,
which may be severe, but is usually reversible, has
been reported rarely. Signs and symptoms may not become
apparent for up to 6 weeks after treatment has ceased.
In patients with moderate or severe renal impairment,
Augmentin dosage should be adjusted as recommended
under Dosage & Administration. Serious and occasionally
fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactoid) reactions have
been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. These
reactions are more likely to occur in individuals
with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity (see
Contraindications). Erythematous rashes have been
associated with glandular fever in patients receiving
amoxycillin. Prolonged use may also occasionally result
in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms. Augmentin
suspensions contain aspartame 12.5 mg/5 mL dose and
therefore, care should be taken in phenylketonuria.
Drug Abuse and Dependence: Drug dependency, addiction
and recreational abuse have not been reported as a
problem with Augmentin. Effects on the Ability to
Drive or Operate Machinery: Adverse effects on the
ability to drive or operate machinery have not been
observed. Use in pregnancy & lactation: Reproduction
studies in animals (mice and rats) with orally and
parenterally administered Augmentin have shown no
teratogenic effects. There is limited experience of
the use of Augmentin in human pregnancy. As with all
medicines, use should be avoided during pregnancy,
especially during the 1st trimester unless considered
essential by the physician. Augmentin may be administered
during the period of lactation. With the exception
of the risk of sensitisation, associated with the
excretion of trace quantities in breast milk, there
are no detrimental effects for the breastfed infant.
Use in children: The tablets are not recommended in
children under 12 years.
