1. What is amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa and what is it used for

amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa is an antibiotic that eliminates the bacteria that cause infections. It contains two different medications called amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin belongs to a group of medications known as "penicillins" that sometimes may lose its effectiveness (become inactive). The other component (clavulanic acid) prevents this from happening.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and do not work for viral infections such as the flu or a cold.

It is essential to follow the instructions regarding the dose, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have leftover antibiotics after completing treatment, return them to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of medications through the drain or in the trash.

amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa is used in adults and children to treat the following infections:

  • Middle ear and nasal sinus infections
  • Respiratory tract infections
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Skin and soft tissue infections, including dental infections
  • Bone and joint infections

2. What you need to know before starting to take amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa

Do not take amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa:

  • if you are allergic to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, penicillins, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
  • if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any other antibiotic. This could include skin rash or swelling of the face or throat
  • if you have ever had liver problems or jaundice (yellowing of the skin) when taking an antibiotic.

Do not take amoxicillin/clavulanic acid if you are included in any of the above points. Before starting treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, if you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa if:

  • you have infectious mononucleosis
  • you are receiving treatment for liver or kidney problems
  • you do not urinate regularly.

If you are unsure whether any of the above symptoms affect you, inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.

In some cases, your doctor may investigate the type of bacteria causing your infection. Depending on the results, they may prescribe a different presentation of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or another medicine.

Symptoms to be aware of

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid may worsen existing conditions or cause severe side effects. These include allergic reactions, convulsions, and inflammation of the large intestine.

Blood and urine tests

If you are having blood tests (such as red blood cell studies or liver function studies) or urine tests (to control glucose levels), inform your doctor or nurse that you are taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.

Other medicines and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid cinfa

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medicine.

If you are taking allopurinol (used for gout) with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, you may be more likely to have a skin allergic reaction.

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid may affect the action of methotrexate (a medicine used to treat cancer and severe psoriasis), penicillins may reduce the excretion of methotrexate and cause a potential increase in side effects.

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid may affect how micophenolate mofetil (a medicine used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients) works.
