Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for oral suspension, and amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets (chewable) are oral antibacterial combinations consisting of the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxicillin, USP and the beta–lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium, USP (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin, USP is an analog of ampicillin, derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6–aminopenicillanic acid. Chemically, amoxicillin, USP is ( 2S , 5R , 6R )–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 has the following structural formula: C 16 H 19 N 3 O 5 S•3H 2 O M.W. 419.45 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. Chemically, clavulanate potassium, USP is potassium ( Z )-(2 R ,5 R )-3-(2-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]-heptane-2-carboxylate, and has the following structural formula: C 8 H 8 KNO 5 M.W. 237.25 Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablets, USP: 500 mg/125 mg: Each tablet contains 500 mg of amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate, and 125 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 149 mg of clavulanate potassium). 875 mg/125 mg: Each tablet contains 875 mg of amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate, and 125 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 149 mg of clavulanate potassium). Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium for Oral Suspension, USP: 200 mg/28.5 mg per 5 mL: Following reconstitution, each 5 mL of oral suspension contains 200 mg of amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate, and 28.5 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 34 mg of clavulanate potassium). 400 mg/28.5 mg per 5 mL: Following reconstitution, each 5 mL of oral suspension contains 400 mg of amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate, and 57 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 68 mg of clavulanate potassium). Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablets, USP (Chewable): 200 mg/28.5 mg: Each chewable tablet contains 200 mg of amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate, and 28.5 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 34 mg of clavulanate potassium). 400 mg/57 mg: Each chewable tablet contains 400 mg of amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate, and 57 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 68 mg of clavulanate potassium).
