DELTACLAV 642.9 / 5 75 ml

Description:

DELTACLAV 642.9 mg/5 ml powder for oral suspension 75 ml is a prescription antibiotic medicine from Delta Pharma containing amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. It belongs to the beta-lactam/penicillin class and is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, especially those caused by beta-lactamase–producing organisms that are resistant to amoxicillin alone. After reconstitution with water, it forms an oral suspension commonly used in adults and children as directed by a physician to manage respiratory, ear, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections. This product is intended for systemic treatment of bacterial infections and must be used under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Lower respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis and pneumonia, caused by beta-lactamase–producing isolates of haemophilus influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis.
• Acute bacterial otitis media (middle ear infection) caused by beta-lactamase–producing h. influenzae and m. catarrhalis.
• Acute bacterial sinusitis caused by beta-lactamase–producing h. influenzae and m. catarrhalis.
• Skin and skin structure infections caused by beta-lactamase–producing staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, and klebsiella species.
• Urinary tract infections (uncomplicated and some complicated infections) caused by beta-lactamase–producing e. coli, klebsiella species, and enterobacter species.
• Other infections caused by susceptible organisms as determined by your doctor and local antibiotic guidelines.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Amoxicillin (as amoxicillin trihydrate) – part of total 642.9 mg per 5 ml oral suspension (exact amoxicillin concentration not specified in available data).
• Clavulanic acid (as potassium clavulanate) – part of total 642.9 mg per 5 ml oral suspension (exact clavulanic acid concentration not specified in available data).
• Other excipients (suspension base, sweeteners, stabilizers, flavoring agents, preservatives) – detailed composition not available.
• Note: Exact individual mg amounts of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid within the 642.9 mg/5 ml strength are not provided in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• This product is supplied as a powder and must be reconstituted with the recommended amount of water by the pharmacist to prepare the oral suspension before use.
• Shake the bottle well before each dose to ensure uniform suspension.
• Dosage is individualized by the physician based on body weight, age, severity and site of infection, and kidney function.
• Common dosing regimens (for reference only – follow your doctor’s exact prescription):
• Adults and adolescents: dose usually divided 2–3 times daily (e.g., every 8 or 12 hours) depending on infection severity and national guidelines.
• Children: dose is typically calculated in mg/kg/day of the amoxicillin component, divided into 2–3 doses per day.
• Can be taken with food to reduce potential gastrointestinal discomfort and improve absorption.
• Use the provided measuring spoon or oral syringe to ensure accurate dosing; do not use household teaspoons.
• Complete the full course of therapy exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent relapse and antibiotic resistance.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not use in children or adults without a doctor’s prescription and proper medical evaluation.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity by combining amoxicillin with clavulanic acid to overcome beta-lactamase–mediated resistance.
• Effectively treats respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and otitis media caused by susceptible organisms.
• Helps resolve skin and soft tissue infections, reducing redness, swelling, and pain associated with bacterial involvement.
• Manages urinary tract infections caused by beta-lactamase–producing bacteria, helping to relieve burning, frequency, and urinary discomfort.
• Reduces the risk of treatment failure in infections where amoxicillin alone may be ineffective due to beta-lactamase production.
• Oral suspension form facilitates easier administration in children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid, other penicillins, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) to cephalosporins or other beta-lactam antibiotics.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of cholestatic jaundice or liver dysfunction associated with previous use of amoxicillin/clavulanate.
• Use cautiously in patients with hepatic impairment or renal impairment; dosage adjustment may be required as determined by the physician.
• May cause antibiotic-associated colitis, including clostridioides difficile–associated diarrhea; discontinue and seek medical advice if severe or persistent diarrhea occurs.
• Prolonged or repeated use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi; medical monitoring is recommended for long courses.
• May interfere with certain laboratory tests (e.g., urine glucose tests using non-enzymatic methods); inform the laboratory and your doctor that you are taking this medication.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy; amoxicillin/clavulanate is generally used in pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed.
• If breastfeeding, consult your doctor; small amounts of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid may be excreted in breast milk and may affect the infant (e.g., diarrhea, candidiasis).
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), allopurinol, methotrexate, or other antibiotics, due to potential interactions.
• Not intended for viral infections such as common cold or influenza.
• Do not share this antibiotic with others, even if they have similar symptoms.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, a history of gastrointestinal disease (especially colitis), or allergies (asthma, hay fever).
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, soft stools, and mild skin rash.
• Other possible effects: headache, dizziness, oral or vaginal candidiasis (thrush), gas, or indigestion.
• Allergic reactions: itching, hives, rash, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing; these require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of the drug.
• Serious but less common side effects: severe or persistent diarrhea (possible c. difficile–associated colitis), yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, severe abdominal pain, unusual bleeding or bruising, or significant fatigue – seek urgent medical advice.
• If any side effect is severe, persistent, or you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
