Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for oral suspension, USP is an oral antibacterial combination consisting of amoxicillin and the beta-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin USP is an analog of ampicillin, derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The amoxicillin molecular formula is C 16 H 19 N 3 O 5 S•3H 2 O, and the molecular weight is 419.46. Chemically, amoxicillin is (2 S, 5 R, 6 R )-6-[( R )-(-)-2-Amino-2-( p- hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid trihydrate and may be represented structurally as: Clavulanic acid is produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus . It is a beta-lactam structurally related to the penicillins and possesses the ability to inactivate some beta-lactamases by blocking the active sites of these enzymes. The clavulanate potassium molecular formula is C 8 H 8 KNO 5 , and the molecular weight is 237.25. Chemically, clavulanate potassium is potassium ( Z )( 2R,5R )-3-(2-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]-heptane-2-carboxylate and may be represented structurally as: 125 mg/31.25 mg: Following constitution, each 5 mL of oral suspension contains 125 mg of amoxicillin as the trihydrate, and 31.25 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 37.23 mg of clavulanate potassium). 250 mg/62.5 mg: Following constitution, each 5 mL of oral suspension contains 250 mg of amoxicillin as the trihydrate, and 62.5 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 74.5 mg of clavulanate potassium). Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for oral suspension, USP is white to off-white granular powder and becomes white to pale yellow with orange flavored suspension after reconstitution. Inactive Ingredients: Aspartame, colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, orange flavor, silicon dioxide, succinic acid, and xanthan gum [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] . The orange flavor contains corn syrup, gum arabic and natural & artificial flavor. Each 5 mL of of reconstituted 125 mg/31.25 mg oral suspension of amoxicillin and clavulanate contains 0.16 mEq potassium Each 5 mL of reconstituted 250 mg/62.5 mg oral suspension of amoxicillin and clavulanate contains 0.31 mEq potassium Chemical Structure Chemical Structure 1
