Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets 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). Inactive Ingredients: Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablets, USP - colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polydextrose, polyethylene glycol, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide, and triacetin. Each tablet of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets, USP contains 0.63 mEq potassium. amoxicillin structural formula clavulanic acid structural formula
