What is Augmentin?

Augmentin is a combination antibiotic that pairs amoxicillin—a broad-spectrum penicillin—with clavulanate, an agent that blocks the bacterial defenses that would otherwise make amoxicillin ineffective. Together, they treat a wider range of bacterial infections than amoxicillin alone, including many that have developed antibiotic resistance. It's commonly prescribed for sinus infections, ear infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and more. It's taken orally, typically two to three times daily with food.

Dual-action formula

Amoxicillin disrupts bacterial cell wall construction, causing bacteria to burst and die, while clavulanate prevents resistant bacteria from breaking down the antibiotic.

Resistance coverage

Clavulanate neutralizes beta-lactamase enzymes—a key resistance mechanism—allowing the antibiotic to work against bacteria that would otherwise survive it.

Broad infection treatment

Together, the combination covers a wider range of bacteria than amoxicillin alone, making it effective for more stubborn or mixed bacterial infections.
