What Is Augmentin Used For?

Some people have heard of using Augmentin for UTIs, Augmentin for strep throat or Augmentin for sinus infections. But what is Augmentin prescription medication and what is it actually used for? Augmentin medication is an oral antibacterial medication that combines amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. By being combined with clavulanic acid in Augmentin, amoxicillin becomes less susceptible to degradation and extends the spectrum of coverage to additional bacteria. Augmentin medication is indicated for the treatment of specific types of lower respiratory infections, otitis media, sinusitis, skin infections, and urinary tract infections.

Augmentin - Dosage and Cost

A commonly used version of Augmentin tablets is Augmentin 875 -125 which consists of amoxicillin 875 mg and clavulanic acid 125 mg. At many pharmacies, the cost of Augmentin tablets is eighty cents per pill which makes it only moderately affordable. Fortunately, Augmentin prescription medication is usually taken for a limited period of time and some insurance plans may even cover the cost of the antibiotic. Augmentin coupons may also be available through pharmacies or online at times and a prescription discount card may also help with costs associated with Augmentin prescription medication. Augmentin is well absorbed after being taken orally. The half life of the components of Augmentin after oral administration is generally under two hours and remain mildly bound to proteins. A percentage of the clavulanic acid and amoxicillin in Augmentin tablets is excreted in the urine.

Augmentin is a prescription medication and, as a result, Augmentin OTC (over-the-counter) in the United States.
