Augmentin 228mg Suspension – Amoxicillin clavulanic acid, 70ml
Introducing Augmentin 228mg Suspension – Your Trusted Ally Against Bacterial Infections in Infants and Children!
Augmentin 228mg Suspension is a powerful, pediatric-friendly solution designed for the short-term treatment of bacterial infections. Crafted for twice-daily oral dosing, this suspension combines the synergistic effects of two potent medicines: amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (co-amoxiclav).

- Twice Daily Oral Dosing: Convenient and easy to administer, making it hassle-free for both parents and healthcare providers.
- Powerful Dual Action: The dynamic combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid ensures effective eradication of bacteria, preventing the development of resistance.
- Paediatric-Friendly: Tailored to suit the needs of babies and children, providing a safe and reliable option for pediatric bacterial infection treatment.
