Fleming 1000mg: Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Effective Treatment

Fleming 1000mg is a powerful combination antibiotic containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid (collectively known as Co-amoxiclav). It is designed to treat various bacterial infections, especially those resistant to simple Amoxicillin.

What is Fleming 1000mg used for?

Fleming 1000mg is prescribed for a range of bacterial infections in Nigeria, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Effective for bladder and kidney infections.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Including boils, abscesses, and wound infections.
• Dental Infections: Often used for severe tooth abscesses.

How it Works

The Amoxicillin component kills bacteria by stopping them from building cell walls. However, some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that destroy Amoxicillin. The Clavulanic Acid in Fleming "blocks" these enzymes, allowing the Amoxicillin to work effectively against resistant strains.

Dosage and Administration

Fleming 1000mg (1g) tablets are typically taken twice daily (every 12 hours) or as directed by your doctor.

• It is best to take Fleming at the start of a meal to minimize stomach upset and improve absorption.
• Ensure you swallow the tablet whole with water.
• Complete the full course: Even if you feel better after a few days, finishing the entire pack is crucial to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Precautions and Safety

• Allergies: Do not take this medication if you are allergic to Penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics.
• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult our pharmacist or your doctor before use.
• Side Effects: Some users may experience mild diarrhea, nausea, or stomach discomfort. If you notice a skin rash or difficulty breathing, stop use immediately and seek medical help.
