- <p><strong>Indications</strong></p>
<p><em>AUGMENTIN</em> is an antibiotic agent with a notably broad-spectrum of activity against the commonly occurring bacterial pathogens in general practice and hospital. The beta-lactamase inhibitory action of clavulanate extends the spectrum of amoxicillin to embrace a wider range of organisms, including many resistant to other beta-lactam antibiotics.</p>
<p><em>AUGMENTIN</em> should be used in accordance with local official antibiotic-prescribing guidelines and local susceptibility data.</p>
<p><em>AUGMENTIN</em> oral presentations for twice daily dosing, are indicated for short-term treatment of bacterial infections at the following sites:</p>
<p><em>Upper respiratory tract infections (including ENT)</em> e.g. recurrent tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis media.</p>
<p><em>Lower respiratory tract infections</em> e.g. acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB), lobar and bronchopneumonia.</p>
<p><em>Genito-urinary tract infections</em> e.g. cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis.</p>
<p><em>Skin and soft tissue infections</em> e.g. boils, abscesses, cellulitis, wound infections.</p>
<p><em>Bone and joint infections</em> e.g. osteomyelitis.</p>
<p><em>Dental infections</em> e.g. dentoalveolar abscess, pericoronitis, acute periodontitis.</p>
<p><em>Other infections</em> e.g. septic abortion, puerperal sepsis, intra-abdominal sepsis.</p>
