Fleming 625mg x 14 Tablets (Co-amoxiclav)
Fleming 625mg is a broad-spectrum antibiotic formulated with Amoxicillin (500mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125mg). This combination, known as Co-amoxiclav, is highly effective for treating bacterial infections that are resistant to amoxicillin alone. Fleming is manufactured by Medreich Limited and is a trusted choice for infection management in Nigeria.
What is Fleming 625mg used for?
Fleming 625mg is primarily used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria and preventing them from destroying the antibiotic. Common uses include:
- Respiratory Infections: Treatment of sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Reliable relief for bacterial UTIs.
- Dental Infections: Often prescribed for severe tooth abscesses or oral infections.
- Skin Infections: Effective against bacterial skin and soft tissue conditions.
Fleming 625mg Dosage for Adults
For most infections, the standard adult dosage is one 625mg tablet taken twice daily (every 12 hours). It is best taken at the start of a meal to help absorption and reduce stomach upset. Always complete the full 14-tablet course as prescribed by your doctor or GoMed pharmacist, even if you start feeling better, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Safety and Side Effects
While Fleming is a powerful antibiotic, it should only be used under medical supervision.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use. While generally considered safe, a professional assessment is necessary.
- Typhoid: Many people ask about "Fleming 625mg for typhoid." While it can be effective, it must only be used if a lab test confirms the bacteria are sensitive to Co-amoxiclav.
- Allergies: Do not take this medication if you have a known allergy to penicillin or cephalosporins.
Common side effects may include mild diarrhea, nausea, or stomach discomfort. If you notice a skin rash or breathing difficulties, stop use immediately and contact a doctor.
