Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Clavulin is a combination antibiotic containing amoxicillin, a penicillin-type beta-lactam antibiotic, and clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections by extending the spectrum of amoxicillin to include beta-lactamase-producing organisms. Clavulin is effective against respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain dental infections. The clavulanic acid component protects amoxicillin from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes, restoring its efficacy against resistant bacterial strains.

Clavulin should be administered orally and is available in various formulations, including tablets, chewable tablets, and oral suspensions. Dosing depends on the severity and type of infection, as well as patient age and renal function. It is typically taken every 8 or 12 hours with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset. The tablet should be swallowed whole, and suspensions must be shaken well before use. Always follow the prescribing physician’s instructions precisely.
Active ingredients:
Inactive ingredients vary by formulation but may include: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, sodium starch glycolate, and flavoring agents in suspensions.
Clavulin is contraindicated in patients with:
Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment; monitor liver function tests during prolonged therapy. In patients with renal impairment, dosage adjustments are necessary. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported. Clavulin should be discontinued if a skin rash or other signs of hypersensitivity appear. Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including Clavulin; evaluate patients presenting with diarrhea during or after treatment.
