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 Each tablet contains 500 mg or 875 mg amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate and 125 mg clavulanic acid as the potassium salt. Each Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablet USP contains 0.63 mEq potassium. Inactive Ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polydextrose, polyethylene glycol, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide, and triacetin. Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium for Oral Suspension USP After reconstitution each teaspoonful (5 mL) of suspension will contain 200 mg amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate and 28.5 mg clavulanic acid as the potassium salt or 400 mg amoxicillin, USP as the trihydrate and 57 mg clavulanic acid as the potassium salt. Each 5 mL of reconstituted Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium for Oral Suspension USP, 200 mg/28.5 mg per 5 mL contains 0.14 mEq potassium. Each 5 mL of reconstituted Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium for Oral Suspension USP, 400 mg/57 mg per 5 mL contains 0.29 mEq of potassium.
