Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets, USP; for oral suspension, USP; and chewable tablets, USP are oral antibacterial combinations consisting of amoxicillin and the beta-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin is an analog of ampicillin, derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The amoxicillin molecular formula is C16H19N3O5S•3H2O, and the molecular weight is 419.46. Chemically, amoxicillin is (2S,5R,6R)-6-[(R)-(-)-2-Amino-2-(phydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid trihydrate and may be represented structurally as: amoxicillin-chemical-structure 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 C8H8KNO5, 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: clavulanate-chemical-structure Inactive Ingredients • Tablets – Colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, talc, titanium dioxide, triethyl citrate, ethylcellulose, cetyl alcohol and sodium lauryl sulfate. In addition, the 875 mg/125 mg tablet contains crospovidone. Each tablet of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium contains 0.63 mEq potassium. • For Oral Suspension – Aspartame, colloidal silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, mannitol, orange flavoring, precipitated silicon dioxide, succinic acid, xanthan gum, and golden syrup flavoring (caramel). • Chewable Tablets – Aspartame, banana flavoring, cherry flavoring, colloidal silicon dioxide, FD&C Red No. 40, magnesium stearate, mannitol, and sodium starch glycolate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]. ∘ Each 200 mg chewable tablet and each 5 mL of reconstituted 200 mg/5 mL oral suspension of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium contains 0.14 mEq potassium ∘ Each 400 mg chewable tablet and each 5 mL of reconstituted 400 mg/5 mL oral suspension of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium contains 0.29 mEq potassium
