Fleming 375mg 20 Tablets: Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Treatment
Fleming 375mg is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic containing a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This co-amoxiclav formulation is highly effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a prescription-only medication (POM) commonly used in Nigeria for both respiratory and skin infections.
What is Fleming 375mg used for?
Fleming 375mg is prescribed to treat various bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory Tract Infections: Sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Infections affecting the bladder or kidneys.
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Including cellulitis and infected animal bites.
- Dental Infections: Such as dental abscesses.
How it Works
The medication works through its two active components. Amoxicillin belongs to the penicillin group and works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from destroying the amoxicillin, making the treatment effective even against antibiotic-resistant strains.
Important Information
As an antibiotic, Fleming should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is essential to complete the full course prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better after a few days, to ensure the infection is completely cleared and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
