Augmentin 1g is a prescription-strength, broad-spectrum high-dose combination antibiotic. Each film-coated tablet contains 875mg of Amoxicillin (as Amoxicillin Trihydrate) and 125mg of Clavulanic Acid (as Potassium Clavulanate).
It is prescribed for adults and adolescents for the treatment of more severe or stubborn bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, including:
Severe Sinusitis and Acute Bacterial Sinusitis
Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Bronchitis
Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Severe Skin and Soft Tissue Infections
Dental Infections and Severe Abscesses
Augmentin 1g combines a high dose of aminopenicillin with a fixed dose of beta-lactamase inhibitor:
High-Dose Amoxicillin (875mg): Binds to penicillin-binding proteins to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, destroying a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Clavulanic Acid (125mg): Irreversibly inactivates beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, protecting the high dose of amoxicillin from degradation.
Severe Hypersensitivity: Do not take Augmentin if you have a known history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis, hives, angioedema) to amoxicillin, clavulanate, penicillins, or cephalosporins. Seek immediate emergency medical care if a rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty develops.
Resistance Prevention: Always finish the entire prescribed course of treatment (typically 7 to 10 days), even if symptoms improve within a few days. Stopping early can cause the infection to return and promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Hepatic Monitoring: High-dose amoxicillin/clavulanate therapy can occasionally be associated with liver dysfunction. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or upper right abdominal pain.
Standard Adult & Adolescent Dosing (Aged 12 Years & Older / >40kg):
Usual Dosage: One 1g tablet twice daily (every 12 hours) taken for the duration prescribed by your physician.
How to Take:
Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or split them.
Take at the start of a meal or with food to maximize drug absorption and significantly reduce mild gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea.
Augmentin 1g is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects may include:
Mild diarrhea or loose stools (due to the higher amoxicillin strength).
Nausea, vomiting, or indigestion.
Mild skin rash, itching, or hives.
Oral thrush or vaginal yeast infections during prolonged use.
Store at room temperature below 25°C or 30°C in a dry place away from direct light and moisture.
Keep tablets sealed in their original blister packs inside the carton.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
Augmentin 1g uses an 875mg/125mg ratio specifically engineered for a 12-hour (twice daily) dosing schedule, providing high therapeutic blood levels of amoxicillin while keeping the total daily dose of clavulanic acid safe and manageable to reduce stomach upset.
No. Augmentin 1g tablets are large, but they should not be broken, crushed, or split in half, as splitting does not guarantee an equal distribution of the active ingredients and can affect how the medicine is released.
