Amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico Sun is an antibiotic and works by destroying the bacteria that cause infections. It contains two different medicines called amoxicilina and ácido clavulánico. Amoxicilina belongs to a group of medicines called "penicilinas" that sometimes cannot act (become inactive). The other active component (ácido clavulánico) prevents this from happening.

Amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico Sun film-coated tabletsare used in adults and children to treat the following infections:

• Middle ear infections and sinus infections.
• Respiratory tract infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections, including dental infections.

Bone and joint infections.

• If you have ever had an allergic (hypersensitive) reaction to any other antibiotic. This may include a 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.

Advice/medical education

Antibiotics are used for the treatment of bacterial infections. They are not effective against viral infections.

Occasionally, a bacterial infection does not respond to antibiotic treatment. One of the most common reasons for this is that the bacteria causing the infection are resistant to the antibiotic being taken. This means that the bacteria can survive or grow despite the antibiotic.

Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics for many reasons. Using antibiotics appropriately can reduce the likelihood of bacteria becoming resistant to them.

When your doctor prescribes an antibiotic, it is only for the course of your illness.

Paying attention to the following advice will help prevent the appearance of resistant bacteria that may make the antibiotic ineffective.

1. It is very important to take the antibiotic in the correct dose, at the indicated hours, and for the correct number of days. Read the label instructions and if you do not understand anything, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

2. Do not take an antibiotic unless you have been prescribed it specifically for you and use it only for the infection for which you have been prescribed it.

3. Do not take antibiotics that have been prescribed for other people, even if they have the same or a similar infection to yours.

4. Do not give antibiotics that have been prescribed for you to other people.

5. If you still have antibiotics left over after completing treatment, hand over all unused medicines to your pharmacy to ensure that the disposal requirements are met
