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: 200 mg/28.5 mg: Following constitution, each 5 mL of oral suspension contains 200 mg of amoxicillin as the trihydrate, and 28.5 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 34 mg of clavulanate potassium). 400 mg/57 mg: Following constitution, each 5 mL of oral suspension contains 400 mg of amoxicillin as the trihydrate, and 57 mg of clavulanic acid (equivalent to 68 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: Colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, orange flavour, silicon dioxide, succinic acid, xanthan gum and aspartame [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ]. • Each 5 mL of reconstituted 200 mg/28.5 mg oral suspension of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium contains 0.14 mEq potassium • Each 5 mL of reconstituted 400 mg/57 mg oral suspension of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium contains 0.29 mEq potassium str str
