What is Curam Duo (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid) used for?

Curam Duo (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid) is an oral penicillin antibiotic prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections including those affecting the soft tissues, middle ear, respiratory tract, abdomen, blood, or heart. The medication operates by destroying or slowing the reproduction of bacteria cells making it easier for the immune system to eliminate the infection. Your doctor may prescribe it to be used along with other medications or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Curam Duo (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid)?

Curam Duo (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid) should always be used according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The normal dosage is two to three daily administrations of one tablet for a cycle of medicine lasting one or two weeks, but your individual directions will be determined by your age, weight, current health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken with or without food, although a meal or snack is suggested prior to use if you experience nausea. Avoid changing the form of the tablets by crushing, splitting, or chewing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Never stop using the medication before being told to do so as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
