Administration :
May be taken with or without food: May be given w/o regard to meals. Best taken at the start of meals for better absorption & to reduce GI discomfort.
Contraindications :
Co-amoxiclav is contraindicated in patients with a history of allergic reactions to any penicillin. It is also contraindicated in patients with a previous history of amoxicillin-potassium clavulanate-associated cholestatic jaundice/hepatic dysfunction.
Special Precautions :
Changes in liver function tests have been observed in some patients receiving Co-amoxiclav. The clinical significance of these changes is uncertain but Co-amoxiclav should be used with caution in patients with evidence of hepatic dysfunction.
Cholestatic jaundice, which may be severe, but is usually reversible, has been reported rarely. Signs and symptoms may not become apparent for several weeks after treatment has ceased.
In patients with reduced urine output crystalluria has been observed very rarely, predominantly with parenteral therapy. During administration of high doses of amoxicillin it is advisable to maintain adequate fluid intake and urinary output in order to reduce the possibility of amoxicillin crystalluria. Amoxicillin has been reported to precipitate in bladder catheters after intravenous administration of large doses. A regular check of potency should be maintained.
Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactoid) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. These reactions are more likely to occur in individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity.
Erythematous rashes have been associated with glandular fever in patients receiving amoxicillin.
Prolonged use may also occasionally result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms.
