Medical Description
Hibiotic is an antibiotic used for the short term treatment of infections in different parts of the body caused by bacteria.
Antibiotic, belongs to the penicillin group used in the treatment of bacterial rhinosinusitis, pneumonia, otitis media, prophylaxis or treatment against bite wound infection, diabetic foot infection, odontogenic infection and urinary tract infection.
Properties
This drug contains the following compounds
Amoxicillin: It is an antibiotic belonging to a group of drugs called penicillin, and treats many bacterial infections by stopping the growth of disease-causing bacteria by inhibiting the biological structure of the bacterial cell wall, leading to its death.
Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from becoming resistant to amoxicillin. Clavulanic acid is commonly used with amoxicillin to extend its coverage to a wider range of beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, as clavulanic acid does not have any antimicrobial activity by itself, but works by preventing the bacterial destruction of beta-lactam in amoxicillin.
Indications
Treatment of lower respiratory tract infections.
Treatment of otitis media.
Treatment of sinusitis.
Treatment of bacterial urinary tract infection.
Treatment of skin infections.
Treatment of bacterial oral and gum infections.
Treatment of infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing strains, such as Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcusaureus.
Prevention of infection as a result of contaminated surgery.

Precautions

-This medicine is not used to treat viral infections, such as colds and flu, as this may lead to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
-It is worth noting that the risk of diarrhea is higher when using amoxicillin with clavulanic acid than when using amoxicillin alone. Treatment also increases the risk of -Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, and it is possible to develop this type of diarrhea for two months after use.-
Pregnancy
