How Augmentin DDS Syrup works<\/h2>\n

Augmentin DDS Syrup combines two molecules: amoxicillin<\/strong> (an aminopenicillin antibiotic that blocks bacterial cell-wall synthesis by binding penicillin-binding proteins) and clavulanic acid<\/strong> (a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from enzymatic destruction by resistant bacteria). The combination broadens the antibacterial spectrum to include beta-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella, oral anaerobes (Bacteroides) and Bacteroides fragilis. It does NOT cover MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia or Legionella.<\/p>\n

Renal dose adjustment:<\/strong> Use the lower-strength formulation (500 mg\/125 mg) at 12-hourly when CrCl 10\u201330; 24-hourly when CrCl <10. The 875\/125 strength is best avoided in CrCl <30. Haemodialysis \u2014 give one dose post-dialysis.<\/p>\n

Paediatric:<\/strong> use the dry-syrup formulation. Standard 25\u201345 mg\/kg\/day amoxicillin component divided 12-hourly; high-dose (90 mg\/kg\/day) for AOM in penicillin-resistant pneumococcus. Always dose by amoxicillin component, not total weight of combination.<\/p>\n
