Salt Composition

Amoxycillin (500mg) + Clavulanic Acid (125mg)

Overview Proclav 500mg/125mg Tablet

This antibiotic combination, 500mg/125mg, combats bacterial infections. It effectively treats infections in the lungs (like pneumonia), ears, sinuses, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. However, it's ineffective against viral illnesses such as the common cold. For optimal absorption and minimized stomach discomfort, take this medication with food, consistently following your doctor's prescribed schedule. Regular, evenly spaced doses improve adherence. The dosage varies depending on the infection, but always complete the full course of treatment as directed. Premature discontinuation allows surviving bacteria to potentially re-infect or worsen the condition. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, oral or genital yeast infections, skin rashes, and vaginitis. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Prior to starting treatment, disclose any antibiotic allergies, kidney or liver issues, and all other medications you are currently using, as interactions are possible. Generally safe for pregnant and breastfeeding individuals under medical supervision.
