Calamox Duo Susp 70ml

CALAMOX Susp 156.25mg/5ml is a pharmaceutical suspension medication for treating various bacterial infections. This formulation contains a combination of two active ingredients, Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, which work synergistically to combat bacterial infections more effectively than either drug alone.

Amoxicillin, present at 125mg per 5ml concentration, is a widely used antibiotic from the penicillin class. It functions by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the weakening and eventual destruction of the bacteria. This mechanism of action makes Amoxicillin highly effective against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens, including Streptococci, Staphylococci, and Haemophilus influenzae, among others. This makes it an indispensable tool in the fight against various common infections, such as sinusitis, urinary tract infections, and respiratory tract infections.

The dosage for this medication is calculated based on the patient's body weight and the specific condition being treated. Common dosages may include:

• For children: The dosage is usually calculated based on the child's weight and age, and it is typically prescribed as a certain number of milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight per day. Your pediatrician will determine the appropriate dosage for your child.
• For adults: The typical adult dosage might range from 250mg to 500mg of the amoxicillin component every 8 hours. However, the exact dosage can vary depending on the type and severity of the infection.
