Contraindications
Prolongation of bleeding time and prothrombin time have been reported in some patients receiving Co-amoxiclav. In common with other broad-spectrum antibiotics, Co-amoxiclav may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives and patients should be warned accordingly. Concomitant use of allopurinol during treatment with amoxicillin can increase the likelihood of allergic skin reactions. There are no data on the concomitant use of Co-amoxiclav and allopurinol.
Side Effects
History of Penicillin hypersensitivity. Attention should be paid to possible cross-sensitivity with other beta-lactam antibiotics e.g. cephalosporins. Also contraindicated for patients with a previous history of Co-amoxiclav or Penicillin-associated cholestatic jaundice.
Pregnancy And Lactation
Side effects, as with Amoxicillin, are uncommon and mainly of a mild and transitory nature. Diarrhoea, pseudomembranous colitis, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and candidiasis have been reported, if gastrointestinal side effects occur with oral therapy, that may be reduced by taking Co-amoxiclav at the start of meals. Hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice have been reported rarely but are usually reversible. Urticarial and erythematous rashes sometimes occur. Rarely erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and exfoliative dermatitis have been reported. In common with other beta-lactam antibiotics, angioedema and anaphylaxis have been reported.
Therapeutic
Co-amoxiclav should be used with care in patients on anticoagulation therapy or with severe hepatic dysfunction. In patients with moderate or severe renal impairment, dosage should be adjusted. During the administration of a high dose of Co-amoxiclav adequate fluid intake and urinary output should be maintained to minimize the possibility of crystalluria.
Storage Conditions
The dose should be adjusted in case of patients with renal impairment Adult: Mild impairment (Creatinine clearance> 30ml/minute): No changein dosage. Moderate impairment (Creatinine clearance 10-30 ml/minute): One 375 Tablet or one 625 Tablet 12 hourly or 1.2 gm IV followed by 0.6 gm IV 12 hourly. Severe impairment (Creatinine clearance <10 ml/minute): Not more than one 375 mg tablet 12 hourly or 1.2 gm IV followed by 0.6 gm IV 24 hourly. Dialysis decreases serum concentrations of this preparation and an additional 0.6 gm IV dose may need to be given during dialysis and at the end of dialysis. Children: A similar reduction in dosage should be made for children. Administration hepatic impairment: Dose with caution; monitor hepatic function at regular intervals.
