MOXICLAV is an antibiotic and works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It contains two different medicines called amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin belongs to a group of medicines called “penicillins” that can sometimes be stopped from working (made inactive). The other active component (clavulanic acid) stops this from happening.
MOXICLAV is used in adults and children to treat the following infections:
· middle ear and sinus infections
· respiratory tract infections
· urinary tract infections
· skin and soft tissue infections including dental infections
· bone and joint infections.
Do not take MOXICLAV:
· if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, penicillin or any of the other ingredients of MOXICLAV (listed in section 6)
· if you have ever had a severe allergic (hypersensitive) reaction to any other antibiotic. This can include a skin rash or swelling of the face or neck
· if you have ever had liver problems or jaundice (yellowing of the skin) when taking an antibiotic.
Do not take MOXICLAV if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking MOXICLAV.
Take special care with MOXICLAV
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine if you:
• have glandular fever
• are being treated for liver or kidney problems
• are not passing water regularly.
If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking MOXICLAV.
In some cases, your doctor may investigate the type of bacteria that is causing your infection. Depending on the results, you may be given a different strength of MOXICLAV or a different medicine.
Conditions you need to look out for MOXICLAV can make some existing conditions worse, or cause serious side effects. These include allergic reactions, convulsions (fits) and inflammation of the large intestine. You must look out for certain symptoms while you are taking MOXICLAV, to reduce the risk of any problems. See ‘Conditions you need to look out for’ in Section 4.
Blood and urine tests
If you are having blood tests (such as red blood cell status tests or liver function tests) or urine tests (for glucose), let the doctor or nurse know that you are taking MOXICLAV. This is because MOXICLAV can affect the results of these types of tests.
Using other medicines
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used any other medicines. This includes medicines that can be bought without a prescription and herbal medicines.
If you are taking allopurinol (used for gout) with MOXICLAV, it may be more likely that you’ll have an allergic skin reaction.
If you are taking probenecid (used for gout), your doctor may decide to adjust your dose of MOXICLAV.
If medicines to help stop blood clots (such as warfarin) are taken with MOXICLAV then extra blood tests may be needed.
MOXICLAV can affect how methotrexate (a medicine used to treat cancer or rheumatic diseases) works.
MOXICLAV can affect how Mycophenolate mofetil (a medicine used to prevent the rejection of transpanted organs) works.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant, you think you might be pregnant or if you are breast-feeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Driving and using machines
MOXICLAV can have side effects and the symptoms may make you unfit to drive.
Don’t drive or operate machinery unless you are feeling well.
Always take MOXICLAV exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Adults and children weighing 40 kg and over
• Usual dose – 1 tablet two times a day
• Higher dose – 1 tablet three times a day
Children weighing less than 40 kg
Children aged 6 years or less should preferably be treated with MOXICLAV oral suspension or sachets.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice when giving MOXICLAV tablets to children weighing less than 40 kg.
Patients with kidney and liver problems
• If you have kidney problems the dose might be changed. A different strength or a different medicine may be chosen by your doctor.
• If you have liver problems you may have more frequent blood tests to check how your liver is working.
How to take MOXICLAV
• Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water at the start of a meal or slightly before
• Space the doses evenly during the day, at least 4 hours apart. Do not take 2 doses in 1 hour.
• Do not take MOXICLAV for more than 2 weeks. If you still feel unwell you should go back to see the doctor.
If you take more MOXICLAV than you should
If you take too much MOXICLAV, signs might include an upset stomach (feeling sick, being sick or diarrhoea) or convulsions. Talk to your doctor as soon as possible. Take the medicine carton or bottle to show the doctor.
If you forget to take MOXICLAV
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. You should not take the next dose too soon, but wait about 4 hours before taking the next dose.
If you stop taking MOXICLAV
Keep taking MOXICLAV until the treatment is finished, even if you feel better. You need every dose to help fight the infection. If some bacteria survive they can cause the infection to come back.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

موكسيكلاف هو مضاد حيوي يعمل عن طريق قتل البكتيريا التي تسبب العدوى وهو يتكون من نوعين الأدوية هما الأموكسيسيللين والكلافولانيك أسيد. والأموكسيسيللين ينتمي إلى المجموعة الدوائية المسماة بالبنسيلينات التي يمكن أحيانا أن تتوقف عن العمل (تصبح غير فعالة)، ولكن المكون الآخر (الكلافولانيك أسيد) يمنع ذلك من الحدوث.
ويستخدم موكسيكلاف مع البالغين والأطفال في علاج الأمراض التالية:
· إلتهاب الأذن الوسطى والجيوب الأنفية
· عدوى الجهاز التنفسي
· عدوى المسالك البولية
· عدوى الجلد والأنسجة اللينة بما في ذلك إلتهابات الفم والأسنان
· عدوى العظام والمفاصل
لا تتناول موكسيكلاف إذا كنت تعاني من أي مما يلي:
· إذا كانت لديك حساسية من الأموكسيسيللين أو الكلافولانيك أسيد أو البنسيللين أو أي من مكونات موكسيكلاف الأخرى (وارد تفصيلها في الفقرة 6)
· إذا حدثت لديك في السابق حساسية شديدة من أي مضاد حيوي آخر. أعراض هذه الحساسية تشمل الطفح الجلدي وتورم الوجه أو العنق.
· إذا كنت قد أصبت من قبل بمشاكل في الكبد مثل الصفراء (اصفرار الجلد) عند تناول مضاد حيوي ما.
إذا كانت إحدى هذه الحالات تنطبق عليك فلا تأخذ موكسيكلاف. إذا لم تكن متأكدا تحدث مع الطبيب أو الصيدلي قبل أن تأخذ موكسيكلاف.
احتياطات يجب اتخاذها عند أخذ موكسيكلاف:
تحدث مع طبيبك أو الصيدلي إذا كنت تعاني من أي من الحالات التالية:
· حمى غددية
· تتناول أدوية كعلاج لمشاكل في الكبد أو الكلى
· عدم التبول بطريقة منتظمة
إذا كانت إحدى هذه الحالات تنطبق عليك فلا تأخذ موكسيكلاف. إذا لم تكن متأكدا تحدث مع الطبيب أو الصيدلي قبل أن تأخذ موكسيكلاف.
في بعض الحالات يمكن لطبيبك أن يجري فحصا لمعرفة نوع البكتيريا المسببة للعدوى. ويقوم الطبيب بعد معرفة النتيجة بوصف التركيز المناسب من موكسيكلاف أو يصف دواء آخر.
حالات يجب تحريها، موكسيكلاف يمكن أن يجعل بعض الحالات تسوء، أو أن تحدث آثار جانبية خطيرة عند استخدامه في وجودها. وهي تتضمن حالات الحساسية، والتشنجات (النوبات)، وإلتهابات الأمعاء الغليظة. هناك أعراض يجب الانتباه لها أثناء استخدام موكسيكلاف لتقليل مخاطر حدوث أي مشكلات. أنظر قسم "حالات يجب تحريها" في الفقرة 4
فحوصات الدم والبول:
إذا كنت بصدد إجراء فحوصات على الدم (مثل فحوصات حالة كريات الدم الحمراء أو فحوصات وظائف الكبد) أو فحص البول (للجلوكوز)، أخبر الطبيب أو الممرضة بأنك تأخذ موكسيكلاف، لأن موكسيكلاف يمكنه أن يؤثر على نتائج تلك الفحوصات.
استخدام أدوية أخرى
أخبر طبيبك أو الصيدلي إذا كنت تتناول حاليا أو تناولت مؤخرا أي دواء آخر. بما في ذلك الأدوية التي تحتاج في صرفها لوصفة طبية والأدوية التي لا تحتاج لوصفة طبية والمنتجات العشبية.
إذا كنت تتناول مادة ألوبرينول (توجد في أدوية النقرس) في نفس الوقت مع موكسيكلاف فيمكن أن يكون هناك احتمال لإصابتك بحساسية الجلد
إذا كنت تتناول مادة بروبينيسيد (توجد في أدوية النقرس) في نفس الوقت مع موكسيكلاف فيمكن أن يقوم الطبيب بتعديل جرعة موكسيكلاف التي ستأخذها
إذا كنت تتناول مواد تعمل على منع تجلط الدم (مثل الوارفارين) في نفس الوقت مع موكسيكلاف فيمكن أن يكون هناك حاجة لإجراء المزيد من الفحوصات.
يمكن لموكسيكلاف أن يؤثر على عمل عقار ميثوتريكسات (دواء يستخدم في علاج السرطان والأمراض الروماتيزمية).
يمكن لموكسيكلاف أن يؤثر على عمل الميكوفينوليت موفيتيل (دواء يستخدم لمنع رفض الأعضاء المزروعة).
الحمل والإرضاع
إذا كنتي حاملا أو تعتقدين أنك ممن الممكن أن تكوني حاملا، أو كنتي ترضعين طفلك رضاعة طبيعية أطلبي من طبيبك أو من الصيدلي النصيحة قبل تناول أي دواء
قيادة السيارات وتشغيل الآلات
يمكن أن يكون لموكسيكلاف آثار جانبية تجعلك في حالة غير مناسبة لقيادة السيارات، فلا تقم بأعمال قيادة السيارات أو تشغيل الآلات إلا إذا كنت تشعر بأنك في حال جيدة

Moxiclav is indicated for the treatment of the following infections in adults and children (see sections 4.2, 4.4 and 5.1):
· Acute bacterial sinusitis (adequately diagnosed).
· Acute otitis media.
· Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (adequately diagnosed).
· Community acquired pneumonia.
· Cystitis.
· Pyelonephritis.
· Skin and soft tissue infections in particular cellulitis, animal bites, severe dental abscess with spreading cellulitis.
· Bone and joint infections, in particular osteomyelitis.
Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents.
Posology
Doses are expressed throughout in terms of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid content except when doses are stated in terms of an individual component.
The dose of Moxiclav that is selected to treat an individual infection should take into account:
· The expected pathogens and their likely susceptibility to antibacterial agents (see section 4.4).
· The severity and the site of the infection.
· The age, weight and renal function of the patient as shown below.
The use of alternative presentations of Moxiclav (e.g. those that provide higher doses of amoxicillin and/or different ratios of amoxicillin to clavulanic acid) should be considered as necessary (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).
For adults and children ≥40 kg, this formulation of Moxiclav provides a total daily dose of 1750 mg amoxicillin/250 mg clavulanic acid with twice daily dosing and 2625 mg amoxicillin/375 mg clavulanic acid with three times daily dosing, when administered as recommended below. For children <40 kg, this formulation of Moxiclav provides a maximum daily dose of 1000-2800 mg amoxicillin/143-400 mg clavulanic acid, when administered as recommended below. If it is considered that a higher daily dose of amoxicillin is required, it is recommended that another preparation of Moxiclav is selected in order to avoid administration of unnecessarily high daily doses of clavulanic acid (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).
The duration of therapy should be determined by the response of the patient. Some infections (e.g. osteomyelitis) require longer periods of treatment. Treatment should not be extended beyond 14 days without review (see section 4.4 regarding prolonged therapy).
Adults and children ≥40 kg
Recommended doses:
· Standard dose: (for all indications) 875 mg/125 mg two times a day.
· Higher dose - (particularly for infections such as otitis media, sinusitis, lower respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections): 875 mg/125 mg three times a day.
Paediatric population
Children <40 kg
Children may be treated with Moxiclav tablets or suspensions.
Recommended doses:
· 25 mg/3.6 mg/kg/day to 45 mg/6.4 mg/kg/day given as two divided doses.
· Up to 70 mg/10 mg/kg/day given as two divided doses may be considered for some infections (such as otitis media, sinusitis and lower respiratory tract infections).
As the tablets cannot be divided, children weighing less than 25 kg must not be treated with Moxiclav tablets.
The table below presents the received dose (mg/kg body weight) in children weighing 25 kg to 40 kg upon administering a single 875/125 mg tablet.
Body weight [kg] | 40 | 35 | 30 | 25 | Single dose recommended [mg/kg body weight] (see above) |
Amoxicillin [mg/kg body weight] per single dose (1 film-coated tablet) | 21.9 | 25.0 | 29.2 | 35.0 | 12.5-22.5 (up to 35) |
Clavulanic acid [mg/kg body weight] per single dose (1 film-coated tablet) | 3.1 | 3.6 | 4.2 | 5.0 | 1.8-3.2 (up to 5) |
Children weighing less than 25 kg should preferably be treated with Moxiclav suspension.
No clinical data are available for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 7:1 formulations regarding doses higher than 45 mg/6.4 mg per kg per day in children under 2 years
There are no clinical data for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 7:1 formulations for patients under 2 months of age.
Dosing recommendations in this population therefore cannot be made.
Elderly
No dose adjustment is considered necessary.
Renal impairment
No dose adjustment is required in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCl) greater than 30 ml/min.
In patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min, the use of Moxiclav presentations with an amoxicillin to clavulanic acid ratio of 7:1 is not recommended, as no recommendations for dose adjustments are available.
Hepatic impairment
Dose with caution and monitor hepatic function at regular intervals (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
Method of administration
Oral use.
Administer at the start of a meal to minimise potential gastrointestinal intolerance and optimise absorption of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.
Therapy can be started parenterally according to the SmPC of the IV-formulation and continued with an oral preparation.
Before initiating therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, careful enquiry should be made concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins or other beta-lactam agents (see sections 4.3 and 4.8).
Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (including anaphylactoid and severe cutaneous adverse reactions) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. These reactions are more likely to occur in individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity and in atopic individuals. If an allergic reaction occurs, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid therapy must be discontinued and appropriate alternative therapy instituted.
In the case that an infection is proven to be due to an amoxicillin-susceptible organisms(s) then consideration should be given to switching from amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to amoxicillin in accordance with official guidance.
This presentation of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is not suitable for use when there is a high risk that the presumptive pathogens have resistance to beta-lactam agents that is not mediated by beta-lactamases susceptible to inhibition by clavulanic acid. This presentation should not be used to treat penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae.
Convulsions may occur in patients with impaired renal function or in those receiving high doses (see 4.8).
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should be avoided if infectious mononucleosis is suspected since the occurrence of a morbilliform rash has been associated with this condition following the use of amoxicillin.
Concomitant use of allopurinol during treatment with amoxicillin can increase the likelihood of allergic skin reactions.
Prolonged use may occasionally result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms.
The occurrence at the treatment initiation of a feverish generalized erythema associated with pustula may be a symptom of acute generalized exanthemous pustulosis (AGEP) (see section 4.8). This reaction requires amoxicillin/clavulanic acid discontinuation and contra-indicates any subsequent administration of amoxicillin.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should be used with caution in patients with evidence of hepatic impairment (see sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.8).
Hepatic events have been reported predominantly in males and elderly patients and may be associated with prolonged treatment. These events have been very rarely reported in children. In all populations, signs and symptoms usually occur during or shortly after treatment but in some cases may not become apparent until several weeks after treatment has ceased. These are usually reversible. Hepatic events may be severe and in extremely rare circumstances, deaths have been reported. These have almost always occurred in patients with serious underlying disease or taking concomitant medications known to have the potential for hepatic effects (see section 4.8).
Antibiotic-associated colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents including amoxicillin and may range in severity from mild to life threatening (see section 4.8). Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea during or subsequent to the administration of any antibiotics. Should antibiotic-associated colitis occur, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should immediately be discontinued, a physician be consulted and an appropriate therapy initiated. Antiperistaltic drugs are contra-indicated in this situation.
Periodic assessment of organ system functions, including renal, hepatic and hematopoietic function is advisable during prolonged therapy.
Prolongation of prothrombin time has been reported rarely in patients receiving amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Appropriate monitoring should be undertaken when anticoagulants are prescribed concomitantly. Adjustments in the dose of oral anticoagulants may be necessary to maintain the desired level of anticoagulation (see section 4.5 and 4.8).
In patients with renal impairment, the dose should be adjusted according to the degree of impairment (see section 4.2).
In patients with reduced urine output, crystalluria has been observed very rarely, predominantly with parenteral therapy. During the 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. In patients with bladder catheters, a regular check of patency should be maintained (see section 4.9).
During treatment with amoxicillin, enzymatic glucose oxidase methods should be used whenever testing for the presence of glucose in urine because false positive results may occur with non-enzymatic methods.
The presence of clavulanic acid in Moxiclav may cause a non-specific binding of IgG and albumin by red cell membranes leading to a false positive Coombs test.
There have been reports of positive test results using the Bio-Rad Laboratories Platelia Aspergillus EIA test in patients receiving amoxicillin/clavulanic acid who were subsequently found to be free of Aspergillus infection. Cross-reactions with non-Aspergillus polysaccharides and polyfuranoses with Bio-Rad Laboratories Platelia Aspergillus EIA test have been reported. Therefore, positive test results in patients receiving amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should be interpreted cautiously and confirmed by other diagnostic methods.
Moxiclav contains propylene glycol which may cause alcohol-like symptoms
Oral anticoagulants
Oral anticoagulants and penicillin antibiotics have been widely used in practice without reports of interaction. However, in the literature there are cases of increased international normalized ratio in patients maintained on acenocoumarol or warfarin and prescribed a course of amoxicillin. If co-administration is necessary, the prothrombin time or international normalized ratio should be carefully monitored with the addition or withdrawal of amoxicillin. Moreover, adjustments in the dose of oral anticoagulants may be necessary (see section 4.4 and 4.8).
Methotrexate
Penicillins may reduce the excretion of methotrexate causing a potential increase in toxicity.
Probenecid
Concomitant use of probenecid is not recommended. Probenecid decreases the renal tubular secretion of amoxicillin. Concomitant use of probenecid may result in increased and prolonged blood levels of amoxicillin but not of clavulanic acid.
Mycophenolate mofetil
In patients receiving mycophenolate mofetil, reduction in pre-dose concentration of the active metabolite mycophenolic acid (MPA) of approximately 50% has been reported following commencement of oral amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid. The change in pre-dose level may not accurately represent changes in overall MPA exposure. Therefore, a change in the dose of mycophenolate mofetil should not normally be necessary in the absence of clinical evidence of graft dysfunction. However, close clinical monitoring should be performed during the combination and shortly after antibiotic treatment.
Pregnancy
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryonal/fetal development, parturition or postnatal development (see section 5.3). Limited data on the use of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid during pregnancy in humans do not indicate an increased risk of congenital malformations. In a single study in women with preterm, premature rupture of the fetal membrane it was reported that prophylactic treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid may be associated with an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in neonates. Use should be avoided during pregnancy, unless considered essential by the physician.
Breast-feeding
Both substances are excreted into breast milk (nothing is known of the effects of clavulanic acid on the breast-fed infant). Consequently, diarrhea and fungus infection of the mucous membranes are possible in the breast-fed infant, so that breast-feeding might have to be discontinued.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should only be used during breast-feeding after benefit/risk assessment by the physician in charge.
No studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed. However, undesirable effects may occur (e.g. allergic reactions, dizziness, convulsions), which may influence the ability to drive and use machines (see section 4.8).
The most commonly reported adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
The ADRs derived from clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, sorted by MedDRA System Organ Class are listed below.
The following terminologies have been used in order to classify the occurrence of undesirable effects.
· very common (³1/10);
· common (³1/100 to <1/10);
· uncommon (³1/1,000 to <1/100);
· rare (³1/10,000 to <1/1,000);
· very rare (<1/10,000).

1See section 4.4 2See section 4.4. 3Nausea is more often associated with higher oral doses. If gastrointestinal reactions are evident, they may be reduced by taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid at the start of a meal. 4Including pseudomembranous colitis and haemorrhagic colitis (see section 4.4) 5A moderate rise in AST and/or ALT has been noted in patients treated with beta-lactam class antibiotics, but the significance of these findings is unknown. 6These events have been noted with other penicillins and cephalosporins (see section 4.4). 7If any hypersensitivity dermatitis reaction occurs, treatment should be discontinued (see section 4.4). 8See section 4.9 9See section 4.4 10See sections 4.3 and 4.4 |
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions to Pharmaceutical Services, Ministry of Health, CY-1475, www.moh.gov.cy / phs Fax: + 357 22608649.
Symptoms and signs of overdose
Gastrointestinal symptoms and disturbance of the fluid and electrolyte balances may be evident.
Amoxicillin crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has been observed (see section 4.4).
Convulsions may occur in patients with impaired renal function or in those receiving high doses.
Amoxicillin has been reported to precipitate in bladder catheters, predominantly after intravenous administration of large doses. A regular check of patency should be maintained (see section 4.4).
Treatment of intoxication
Gastrointestinal symptoms may be treated symptomatically, with attention to the water/electrolyte balance.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid can be removed from the circulation by hemodialysis.
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Combinations of penicillins, incl. beta-lactamase inhibitors; ATC code: J01CR02.
Mechanism of action
Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin (beta-lactam antibiotic) that inhibits one or more enzymes (often referred to as penicillin-binding proteins, PBPs) in the biosynthetic pathway of bacterial peptidoglycan, which is an integral structural component of the bacterial cell wall. Inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis leads to weakening of the cell wall, which is usually followed by cell lysis and death.
Amoxicillin is susceptible to degradation by beta-lactamases produced by resistant bacteria and therefore the spectrum of activity of amoxicillin alone does not include organisms which produce these enzymes.
Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactam structurally related to penicillins. It inactivates some beta-lactamase enzymes thereby preventing inactivation of amoxicillin. Clavulanic acid alone does not exert a clinically useful antibacterial effect.
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship
The time above the minimum inhibitory concentration (T>MIC) is considered to be the major determinant of efficacy for amoxicillin.
Mechanisms of resistance
The two main mechanisms of resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid are:
· Inactivation by those bacterial beta-lactamases that are not themselves inhibited by clavulanic acid, including class B, C and D.
· Alteration of PBPs, which reduce the affinity of the antibacterial agent for the target.
Impermeability of bacteria or efflux pump mechanisms may cause or contribute to bacterial resistance, particularly in Gram-negative bacteria.
Breakpoints
MIC breakpoints for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid are those of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST)

1The reported values are for Amoxicillin concentrations. For susceptibility testing purposes, the concentration of Clavulanic acid is fixed at 2 mg/l. 2The reported values are Oxacillin concentrations. 3Breakpoint values in the table are based on Ampicillin breakpoints. 4The resistant breakpoint of R>8 mg/l ensures that all isolates with resistance mechanisms are reported resistant. 5Breakpoint values in the table are based on Benzylpenicillin breakpoints. |
The prevalence of resistance may vary geographically and with time for selected species, and local information on resistance is desirable, particularly when treating severe infections. As necessary, expert advice should be sought when the local prevalence of resistance is such that the utility of the agent in at least some types of infections is questionable.

$Natural intermediate susceptibility in the absence of acquired mechanism of resistance. £All methicillin-resistant staphylococci are resistant to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. 1Streptococcus pneumoniae that are resistant to penicillin should not be treated with this presentation of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (see sections 4.2 and 4.4). 2Strains with decreased susceptibility have been reported in some countries in the EU with a frequency higher than 10%. |
Absorption
Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, are fully dissociated in aqueous solution at physiological pH. Both components are rapidly and well absorbed by the oral route of administration. Absorption of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is optimized when taken at the start of a meal. Following oral administration, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are approximately 70% bioavailable. The plasma profiles of both components are similar and the time to peak plasma concentration (Tmax) in each case is approximately one hour.
The pharmacokinetic results for a study, in which amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (875 mg/125 mg tablets given twice daily) was administered in the fasting state to groups of healthy volunteers are presented below.

Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid serum concentrations achieved with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid are similar to those produced by the oral administration of equivalent doses of amoxicillin or clavulanic acid alone.
Distribution
About 25% of total plasma clavulanic acid and 18% of total plasma amoxicillin is bound to protein.
The apparent volume of distribution is around 0.3-0.4 l/kg for amoxicillin and around 0.2 l/kg for clavulanic acid.
Following intravenous administration, both amoxicillin and clavulanic acid have been found in gall bladder, abdominal tissue, skin, fat, muscle tissues, synovial and peritoneal fluids, bile and pus.
Amoxicillin does not adequately distribute into the cerebrospinal fluid.
From animal studies there is no evidence for significant tissue retention of drug-derived material for either component. Amoxicillin, like most penicillins, can be detected in breast milk. Trace quantities of clavulanic acid can also be detected in breast milk (see section 4.6).
Both amoxicillin and clavulanic acid have been shown to cross the placental barrier (see section 4.6).
Biotransformation
Amoxicillin is partly excreted in the urine as the inactive penicilloic acid in quantities equivalent to up to 10 to 25% of the initial dose. Clavulanic acid is extensively metabolized in man and eliminated in urine and feces and as carbon dioxide in expired air.
Elimination
The major route of elimination for amoxicillin is via the kidney, whereas for clavulanic acid it is by both renal and non-renal mechanisms.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid has a mean elimination half-life of approximately one hour and a mean total clearance of approximately 25 l/h in healthy subjects. Approximately 60 to 70% of the amoxicillin and approximately 40 to 65% of the clavulanic acid are excreted unchanged in urine during the first 6 h after administration of single amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 250 mg/125 mg or 500 mg/125 mg tablets. Various studies have found the urinary excretion to be 50-85% for amoxicillin and between 27-60% for clavulanic acid over a 24 hour period. In the case of clavulanic acid, the largest amount of drug is excreted during the first 2 hours after administration.
Concomitant use of probenecid delays amoxicillin excretion but does not delay renal excretion of clavulanic acid (see section 4.5).
Age
The elimination half-life of amoxicillin is similar for children aged around 3 months to 2 years and older children and adults. For very young children (including preterm newborns) in the first week of life the interval of administration should not exceed twice daily administration due to immaturity of the renal pathway of elimination. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.
Gender
Following oral administration of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to healthy males and female subjects, gender has no significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of either amoxicillin or clavulanic acid.
Renal impairment
The total serum clearance of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid decreases proportionately with decreasing renal function. The reduction in drug clearance is more pronounced for amoxicillin than for clavulanic acid, as a higher proportion of amoxicillin is excreted via the renal route. Doses in renal impairment must therefore prevent undue accumulation of amoxicillin while maintaining adequate levels of clavulanic acid (see section 4.2).
Hepatic impairment
Hepatically impaired patients should be dosed with caution and hepatic function monitored at regular intervals.
Nonclinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on studies of safety pharmacology, genotoxicity and toxicity to reproduction.
Repeat dose toxicity studies performed in dogs with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid demonstrate gastric irritancy and vomiting, and discolored tongue.
