AUGMENTIN is indicated for the short term treatment of common bacterial infections such as:Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (including ENT): e.g. tonsillitis sinusitis otitis mediaLower Respiratory Tract Infections: e.g. acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis lobar and broncho-pneumoniaGenito-urinary Tract Infections: e.g. cystitis urethritis pyelonephritis female genital infectionsSkin and Soft Tissue InfectionsBone and Joint Infections: e.g. osteomyelitisOther Infections: e.g. septic abortion puerperal sepsis intra-abdominal sepsis septicaemia peritonitis post-surgical infectionsAUGMENTIN is indicated for prophylaxis against infection which may be associated with major surgical procedures such as gastro-intestinal pelvic head and neck cardiac renal joint replacement and biliary tract surgery.Infections caused by amoxicillin susceptible organisms are amenable to AUGMENTIN treatment due to its amoxicillin content. Mixed infections caused by amoxicillin susceptible organism in conjunction with AUGMENTIN-susceptible beta-lactamase-producing organisms may therefore be treated by AUGMENTIN.DosagePremature: No dosage recommendations can be made for this category.Children 3-9 months: 1.25mL of AUGMENTIN Syrup 125 three times a day.Children 9 months - 2 years: 2.5mL of AUGMENTIN Syrup 125 three times a day.Children 2-6 years: 5mL of AUGMENTIN Syrup 125 three times a day. In severe infections this may be increased to 10mL AUGMENTIN Syrup 125 three times a day.Children 7-12 years: 5mL of AUGMENTIN Syrup 250 three times daily. In severe infections this may be increased to 10mL of AUGMENTIN Syrup 250 three times a day.Adults and Children 40kg and over: 1 AUGMENTIN 500 Tablet twice daily for mild to moderate infections. For lower respiratory tract infections complicated urinary tract infections or severe infections at other sites 1-2 AUGMENTIN 500 Tablet three times daily.Dosage for surgical prophylaxis: Surgical prophylaxis with AUGMENTIN should aim to protect the patient for the period of risk of infection. Accordingly procedures in adults lasting for less than 1 hour are successfully covered by 1.2g AUGMENTIN Intravenous given at induction of anaesthesia. Longer operations require subsequent doses of 1.2g AUGMENTIN IV (up to 4 doses in 24 hours) and this regime can be continued for several days if the procedure has significantly increased the risk of infection. Clear clinical signs of infection at operation will require a normal course of IV or oral AUGMENTIN therapy post-operatively.Dosage in hepatic impairment: Dose with caution; monitor hepatic function at regular intervals for both adults and children.There are as yet insufficient data on which to base a dosage recommendation.Dosage in elderly: No adjustment needed dose as for adults. If there is evidence of renal impairment dose should be adjusted as for renally impaired adultsContraindications In patients with a history of hypersensitivity to beta-lactams e.g. penicillins and cephalosporins.AUGMENTIN is contraindicated in patients with a previous history of AUGMENTIN-associated jaundice/hepatic dysfunction.

Without A Prescription:
Education on antibiotic prescribing in Quebec worked. Guidelines for Quebec doctors on proper antibiotic use led to a decline in these prescriptions in the province, while prescribing rose in other provinces, a new study suggests.
The guidelines were published and disseminated to Quebec doctors and pharmacists in January 2005 due to worries about the overuse of antibiotics and partly as a response to an outbreak of Clostridium difficile infections.
Antibiotic consumption per capita was already 23.3 per cent higher in Canada generally than in Quebec in 2004, the study showed.
But in the year that followed publication of the guidelines, the number of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions in Quebec decreased 4.2 per cent, the study said, while increasing 6.5 per cent in other Canadian provinces. The trend persisted three years later.
