Description
MEXACLAV-375 contains Amoxicillin 250 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg in tablet form. This combination belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is used for susceptible bacterial infections when prescribed by a healthcare professional. Amoxicillin works against bacteria, while Clavulanic Acid helps protect amoxicillin from certain beta-lactamase enzymes that can reduce its antibacterial activity.

Uses of MEXACLAV-375
MEXACLAV-375 may be prescribed for susceptible bacterial infections, depending on the diagnosis and the healthcare professional’s assessment. Co-amoxiclav preparations are used for infections such as:

- Skin and soft-tissue infections

- Provides complementary antibacterial activity
- Available in oral tablet form

How MEXACLAV-375 Works
Amoxicillin attacks susceptible bacteria by interfering with the formation of their cell walls. As a result, bacteria lose the structural support needed for growth and survival.
Clavulanic Acid works differently. It inhibits certain beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria. Consequently, it can protect amoxicillin from breakdown by these enzymes and help maintain its antibacterial activity against susceptible organisms.
Therefore, the two ingredients work together through complementary mechanisms. However, the combination should only be used when antibiotic treatment is appropriate.
Common Side Effects of MEXACLAV-375
Some people may experience:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach discomfort
- Indigestion
- Skin rash
- Thrush
Taking co-amoxiclav with a meal can help reduce stomach-related side effects such as nausea.
Most side effects are mild. However, severe diarrhea, serious allergic reactions, severe skin reactions or liver-related problems require prompt medical attention.
Important Safety Information
Take MEXACLAV-375 only as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Antibiotics should be used for bacterial infections that require treatment and should not be used for viral infections. Appropriate use also helps reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure and antimicrobial resistance.
Tell your doctor if you have previously experienced an allergic reaction to amoxicillin, penicillin, cephalosporins, clavulanate or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Serious reactions can include swelling of the face or throat, breathing difficulty and severe skin reactions.
Also inform your healthcare professional if you have kidney disease, a history of liver problems or jaundice associated with antibiotics, or glandular fever.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you take. Important interactions can involve medicines such as warfarin, methotrexate, allopurinol and probenecid.
Seek medical attention if you develop severe or persistent diarrhea, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe skin reactions, facial or throat swelling, or difficulty breathing.
For additional information, refer to the Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium prescribing information.
Dosage & Administration
The appropriate dose and duration depend on the type and severity of infection, age, body weight, kidney function and the prescribed treatment regimen.
Take MEXACLAV-375 exactly as directed by your healthcare professional. Taking co-amoxiclav with a meal can help improve tolerability and reduce nausea. Swallow the tablet with water unless your healthcare professional provides different instructions.
Do not change the dose or treatment duration yourself. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not take two doses together to compensate for a missed dose.
Complete the prescribed course unless your healthcare professional advises you to stop or change the treatment.
