augmentin syrup

Augmentin 457mg/5ml syrup is a high-strength oral suspension containing amoxicillin (400mg) and clavulanic acid (57mg) per 5ml. It is used in children and infants to treat bacterial infections that require broader coverage due to resistance. The clavulanic acid component inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes, allowing amoxicillin to remain effective.

This strength is typically reserved for more serious infections or cases where a higher amoxicillin dose is needed.
