AMK 1000 mg – Amoxicillin 875 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg, 10 Film-Coated Tablets

AMK 1000 mg contains Amoxicillin 875 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg in each film-coated tablet. It is a prescription antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections when the causative bacteria are susceptible to this combination.

This pack contains 10 film-coated tablets with box.

What Is AMK 1000 mg?

AMK 1000 mg combines two active ingredients: amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that interferes with bacterial cell-wall formation. Clavulanic acid helps protect amoxicillin from certain beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, allowing the antibiotic to remain effective against susceptible organisms.

AMK 1000 mg is not effective against viral infections, such as the common cold or influenza.

Common Uses

Depending on the doctor's diagnosis, amoxicillin/clavulanate may be prescribed for certain bacterial infections, including:

• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Lower respiratory tract infections
• Pneumonia
• Skin and soft-tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Other susceptible bacterial infections

How AMK 1000 mg Works

Amoxicillin interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which weakens susceptible bacteria and prevents them from growing normally. Clavulanic acid inhibits certain beta-lactamase enzymes that can otherwise break down amoxicillin.

The combination therefore provides broader antibacterial activity against bacteria that produce certain beta-lactamases.

How to Take AMK 1000 mg

Take AMK 1000 mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist. The appropriate dose and treatment duration depend on the infection, age, kidney function, and other individual factors.

The tablet should be swallowed with water. Taking it at the beginning of a meal may help reduce stomach-related discomfort and can improve absorption of clavulanate.

Do not stop the prescribed course early simply because you feel better unless your healthcare professional tells you to do so.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach discomfort
• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Skin rash

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience signs of a serious allergic reaction, severe skin reaction, persistent severe diarrhea, or other unusual symptoms.

Precautions

Tell your doctor if you have previously experienced an allergic reaction to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Inform your healthcare professional about liver or kidney problems and any other medicines you are taking.

AMK 1000 mg should be used only when prescribed and should not be used to treat viral infections.
