Description
MEXACLAV-625 LB combines Amoxycillin 500 mg, Potassium Clavulanate 125 mg and Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 Million Spores in tablet form. The antibiotic combination is used for susceptible bacterial infections, while Lactic Acid Bacillus is included as a probiotic component. Amoxycillin attacks susceptible bacteria, whereas Potassium Clavulanate helps protect amoxycillin from certain beta-lactamase enzymes. The probiotic component may help support intestinal microbial balance during antibiotic treatment.

Uses of MEXACLAV-625 LB
MEXACLAV-625 LB may be prescribed for susceptible bacterial infections such as:
- Certain respiratory tract infections
- Ear infections
- Sinus infections
- Skin and soft-tissue infections
- Dental infections
- Certain urinary tract infections
- Other bacterial infections when the combination is considered appropriate
The exact indication depends on the diagnosis, bacterial susceptibility and the healthcare professional’s assessment. Amoxicillin and clavulanate should not be used for viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
The Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 Million Spores component provides probiotic support as part of the formulation. However, it should not be presented as preventing all antibiotic-related digestive side effects.

How MEXACLAV-625 LB Works
Amoxycillin belongs to the penicillin family of antibiotics. It interferes with bacterial cell-wall synthesis. Consequently, susceptible bacteria lose the structural support required for growth and survival.
Potassium Clavulanate works differently. It inhibits certain beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria. As a result, it can protect amoxycillin from enzymatic breakdown and help maintain its antibacterial activity against susceptible organisms.
Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic microorganism included in the formulation. It is intended to provide gastrointestinal microbial support alongside antibiotic treatment. The evidence for probiotics varies by strain and clinical situation, so it should not be described as a guaranteed prevention or treatment for antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Common Side Effects of MEXACLAV-625 LB
Some people may experience:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach discomfort
- Indigestion
- Skin rash
- Thrush
Co-amoxiclav commonly causes digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Taking the antibiotic component with a meal can help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
Although uncommon, serious allergic reactions, severe skin reactions and liver-related problems can occur. Seek medical attention if severe or unusual symptoms develop.
Important Safety Information
Use MEXACLAV-625 LB only when prescribed by a healthcare professional. Antibiotics should be used when a bacterial infection is proven or strongly suspected and should not be used for viral infections. Appropriate antibiotic use also helps limit antimicrobial resistance.
Tell your doctor if you have previously experienced an allergic reaction to amoxicillin, penicillin, cephalosporins or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Serious allergic reactions can cause facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulty or severe skin reactions.
Also inform your healthcare professional if you have kidney disease or have previously developed liver problems or jaundice while taking antibiotics.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you take. Important interactions can involve warfarin, methotrexate, allopurinol and probenecid.
Because this product contains Lactic Acid Bacillus, patients with significant immune-system problems or serious underlying illnesses should discuss probiotic use with their healthcare professional before taking it.
Seek prompt medical attention if you develop difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, severe skin reactions, persistent or severe diarrhea, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe abdominal pain.
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-625 LB exactly as directed by your healthcare professional. Amoxicillin/clavulanate tablets should generally be taken at the start of a meal to improve gastrointestinal tolerability.
Swallow the tablet with water unless your healthcare professional gives 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 antibiotic course unless your healthcare professional advises you to stop or change the treatment.
