Fleming 1200mg (1.2g) Powder for Injection

Powerful Co-Amoxiclav Antibiotic for Severe Infections

Fleming 1200mg (1.2g) is a high-potency, broad-spectrum antibiotic injection used to treat severe bacterial infections. It is a combination medication containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid (Co-amoxiclav). This combination is particularly effective because the clavulanic acid protects the amoxicillin from being destroyed by certain resistant bacteria, allowing the antibiotic to work where others might fail.

This medication is typically used in clinical settings for patients who require rapid delivery of antibiotics or those who cannot take oral medications.

What is Fleming 1200mg used for?

Fleming 1.2g injection is indicated for the treatment of various serious infections, including:

• Severe Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as hospital-acquired pneumonia or severe cases of bronchitis.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Including complicated infections affecting the kidneys.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Severe cellulitis, animal bites, or infected wounds.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Such as osteomyelitis.
• Surgical Prophylaxis: Used before surgery to prevent infections from developing.

How it Works

Fleming combines two active ingredients to fight infection effectively:

• Amoxicillin: A penicillin antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from building their cell walls.
• Clavulanic Acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that "shields" the amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases) that would otherwise deactivate it.

How to Use Fleming 1200mg Injection

Fleming 1200mg must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional.

• Route of Administration: This product is for Intravenous (IV) use only. It can be given as a slow injection over 3–4 minutes or as an infusion over 30–40 minutes.
• Reconstitution: The powder must be dissolved in Water for Injections or another compatible sterile solution before use.
• Dosage: Your doctor will determine the correct dose based on your age, weight, and the severity of the infection.

Important Precautions

• Allergies: Do not use if you have a known allergy to penicillins, cephalosporins, or other beta-lactam antibiotics.
• Medical History: Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems or if you have recently had glandular fever.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or nursing.
• Completion of Course: Even if you start feeling better quickly, the full course of treatment must be completed as directed by your doctor to prevent antibiotic resistance.
