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).

Whether it’s middle ear and sinus infections, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections (including dental infections), or even bone and joint infections, this suspension is your go-to solution.
