Amoxicillin clavulanic acid suspension for children. Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid

Amoxiclav (Lat. AMOXYCLAV, English Amoksiclav) - Antibiotic wide spectrum Actions related to the group of inhibitors of penicillins. Contains a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. It has a bactericidal effect due to the oppression of the synthesis of cell walls of microorganisms. Due to the high activity and good tolerability, it can be used as a drug for "empirical" (conducted before obtaining results of analyzes) antibiotic therapy. The spectrum of indications includes the infections of the ENT organs, the respiratory tract, the urogenital path, the skin, soft tissues, bones and joints.

The history of antibiotics began with the opening of the English scientist Alexander Fleming, who discovered antimicrobial properties active substance Mushroom Penicillum Notatum. In 1940, Ernst Chein and Howard Flori allocated the compound described by them in its pure form and called it penicillin. Since then, the drug has become used in medical practice.

In the 1950s It was found that the structural unit of Penicillin is the β-lactam ring. This discovery made possible synthesis of new antibacterial drugs. So, in 1960, meticillin was obtained, in 1961 - ampicillin, and in 1962 amoxicillin. The latter differed from its predecessors improved pharmacokinetic characteristics and higher antibacterial activity.

All penicillins were effective in relation to a wide range. infectious diseasesHowever, over time, they caused the emergence of the strains of microorganisms resistant to them. This effect It was explained by the ability of bacteria to produce β-lactamases - special enzymes that destroy β-lactam rings of antibiotics.

The search for substances capable of neutralizing the effect of harmful enzymes was made by various scientists since 1956. But the first success was achieved only in 1970 by the British pharmaceutical pharmaceutical company Beechham Pharmaceuticals (now GlaxosmithKline). From the culture of Streptomyces Clavuligeris, they allocated the first Blocator β-lactamaz - clavulanic acid. By combining a tool with amoxicillin, the developers received an inhibitory-proof antibiotic, to which the steady stamped bacteria strains turned out to be sensitive. The drug was released to the market in 1984 under the Augmentin brand.

In the mid-1980s. Scientific research on obtaining β-lactamase blockers also concluded Slovenian LEK Figure Permium. Its biochemists managed to derive its own cell culture for the synthesis of clavulanic acid. In 1989, the company registered Generic Augmentin, called Amoxiclav.

Mechanism of action

Like all other beta-lactam antibiotics, amoxicillin exhibits bactericidal properties. The main target of its actions are peptides binding proteins that perform the role of enzymes in the synthesis of the cell walls of bacteria. The blockade of the building process leads to the death of microorganisms. Since peptides binding proteins are absent in humans, then at its cells amoxicillin toxic influence does not have.

Clawulanic acid is characterized by high affinity for beta lactamases, which are produced by bacteria and cause the hydrolysis of penicillins. Forming with aggressive enzymes strong chemical bonds, Clawulanate protects the antibiotic molecules from destruction. There is evidence that acid also shows its own bactericidal properties.

Spectrum of antimicrobial activity

In comparison with natural penicillins, amoxicillin has an extended spectrum of antibacterial activity.

The drug is detrimental to:

  • gram-positive cocci (Streptococcus Pneumoniae, Strept. Pyogenes, Viridans, Strept. Bovis, some strains of Staphylococcus Aureus, Staph. Epidermidis, Staph. Saprofiticus),
  • gram positive sticks (Listeria SPP. Enteroccocus SPP.),
  • gram-negative Cockki (NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE, N. Meningitidis),
  • some gram-negative sticks (Haemophilus Influenzae, H. Ducreyi, Escherichia Coli, Helicobacter Pylori, Salmonella SPP., Yersinia Enterocolitica., Shigella SPP., Vibrio Cholerae),
  • anaerobic bacteria (peptococcus spp., Peptostreptococcus SPP., Clostridium SPP., Bacteroides SPP.),
  • actinomycetes (ActinoMyces Israelii).

Due to the combination with clavulanic acid, the antibiotic is also effective with respect to bacteria distinguishing beta lactamases:

  • methicillere-resistant strains (MRSA) Staphylococcus aureus,
  • Bordetella Pertussis,
  • Brucella SPP.,
  • klebsiella
  • moraxella
  • campylobacteria.

Natural resistance to inhibitor-proof amoxicillin manifests mycoplasm (Mycoplasma Hominis, Mycoplasma Pneumonia, Ureaplasma urealyticum. and etc.).

Clawulanate has a pronounced bactericidal effect on staphylococci, streptococcal, moraxelle and insignificant - on enterobacteria and a gemophilic wand.

Metabolism and elimination

The pharmacokinetic characteristics of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are largely similar and practically do not change during combination therapy.

For oral reception Amoxicillin is easily absorbed by the intestinal mucous membranes. To the blood penetrates to 95% of the adopted dose of the drug. About 20% binds to plasma proteins.

The antibiotic is rapidly distributed in the body, creating therapeutic concentrations in palatine almonds, incomplete sinuses, mucousness of the pharynx and lower respiratory tract, drum cavity, pleura, saliva, bile, skin, spinal brain fluid, liver, muscle tissues, prostate gland, endometry and ovaries . The total amount of distribution is more than 20 liters.

The means is excreted in virtually unchanged. Half-life - 1-1.5 hours. In people with renal failure, this indicator may increase to 7.5 hours.

The bioavailability of clavulanic acid during oral administration is 70%. It also quickly sucks into the blood through the intestinal walls. The maximum concentration is achieved 1-2 hours after use. The substance accumulates in the same tissues and secrets as amoxicillin. Biotransformed in the liver. Metabolism products are eliminated through light, kidney and bile. The half-life is 1-1.5 hours, in patients with renal failure - up to 4.5 hours.

The amoxicillin / clawnat combination penetrates well through the hematorecephalic and placental barriers. In nursing women, the drug is detected in breast milk.

Both connections are removed by hemodialysis. For long use Amoxiclav in the body is not cumulative.

Clawulanic acid is a suicide β-lactamase inhibitor (manufactured by GlaxosmithKline), which is taken in combination with the antibiotics of the penicillin group to reduce certain types of antibiotic resistance. It is used to overcome resistance in bacteria separating β-lactamases, which otherwise inactivates most penicillins. In its most common form, potassium clavulanate is adopted in combination with amoxicillin (co-amoxyclav, corporate names of Augmentin, Tyclav (Beximco) synulox [veterinary drug], etc.) or ticarcillin (co-ticarklav, trademark Timemitin). Clawulanic acid is an example of Klava.

Sources

The name comes from the name of the type of Streptomyces Clavuligerus, which produces clavulanic acid. Clawulanic acid is generated during the biosynthesis of and sugar glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

History

Clawulanic acid was opened in 1974-1975. British scientists working in the pharmaceutical company Beecham. After several attempts, Beecham finally filed an application for patent protection of the drug in the United States in 1981, and in 1985 received US patents 4525352, 4529720 and 4560552.

Mechanism of action

Clawulanic acid has insignificant internal antimicrobial activity, despite the presence of a β-lactam ring, which is characteristic of β-lactam antibiotics. However, the similarity in the chemical structure of the molecule allows the molecule to interact with the enzyme β-lactamase, secreted by certain bacteria to impart resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. Clawulanic acid is a suicide inhibitor, covalently binding to the residue in the active center of β-lactamase. This rebuilds the clavulanic acid molecule, creating much more active forms that are attacked by other amino acids on the active site, constantly inactivating it, and thus inactivating the enzyme. This inhibition restores the antimicrobial activity of β-lactam antibiotics against the resistant bacteria secreting lactamase. Despite this, there are some strains of bacteria, even to such combinations.

Side effects

The use of clavulanic acid with penicillins is associated with increasing cases of cholestatic jaundice and acute hepatitis during or shortly after therapy. Jaundice is usually self-limiting and very rarely ends with a fatal outcome. The UK Medicine Safety Committee (CSM) recommends restricting such treatments such as the use of amoxicilline / clavulanic acid for treatment bacterial infectionscaused by amoxicillin resistant β-lactamas-producing strains, and that treatment usually should not exceed 14 days. Allergy was also reported on the possible development of allergies.

Availability:

Clawulanic acid is used in combination with amoxicillin or ticarcalline for the treatment of infectious inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to the applied combination. Recommended by recipe.

With the advent of soluble antibiotic drugs in Russia, such as amoxicillin clavulanic acid, we get what has long been waiting - drugs with a smaller probability of adverse reactions, with greater hope for recovery. Meanwhile, if you see, what is the real picture of the appointments of antimicrobial drugs (hereinafter referred to as LP) in our country, it can be noted that, despite those efforts that are made regarding the exception of some antimicrobial means From the arsenal of a practical doctor, the situation is still far from the ideal.

Nevertheless, we note the tendency to expand the use of drugs with proven efficacy. If we talk about treatment respiratory infectionsThis can be noted the main directions in the treatment of our patients are the fight against Str.pneumoniae, H.INFLUENZAE and MORAXELLA CATARRBALIS.

Such an antimicrobial drug like amoxicillin occupies the leading position in our country. Its high activity has been confirmed against beta-hemolytic streptococci groups A, pneumococci, hemophilic sticks (not producing beta lactamase). Combined drug amoxicillin + Clawulanic Acid characterized by a greater completeness and speed of suction than ampicillin, has high level Penetration into almonds, maxillary sines, the cavity of the middle ear, the bronchopile system. Compared to ampicillin trihydrate, amoxicillin with clavulanic acid has a big advantage - a smaller molecule size, which facilitates its penetration into a microbial cell, a greater bioavailability, which does not depend on the meal, especially characteristic of a soluble dosage form of this drug made according to SOLUTAB technology. "(Flexin Soluteab). High bioavailability in the case of antimicrobial LPs is important not only from the point of view of the effect of the drug, but also on the risk of developing the intestinal dysfrece. After all, then the amount of antibiotic, which did not compare in the systemic bloodstream, will remain in the lumen of the intestine, which increases the likelihood of dysbiotic lesions and diarrhea.

The subject of our discussion is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in soluble dosage form (hereinafter referred to as LF). It is worth mentioning that the creation of soluble LF is actual including in terms of compliance: despite the fact that liquid LFs are designed to children, and solid (capsules and tablets) - adults, many adults due to individual preferences or other reasons (elderly, lying The patient) would like to use liquid LF. Traditional liquid LFs, such as syrups, have limitations at the concentration of LPs associated with the solubility limit of the drug itself, suspension - the optimal antibiotic ratio / stabilizer. The solution of this problem was the emergence of Soluteab technology, in which active substances placed in microgranules, each of which is covered with a shell dissolving in an alkaline medium fine intestine.

Amoxicillin in microgranulum retains stability in an acidic environment. When taking conventional amoxicillin, some of it dissolves in the stomach, so we lose a certain percentage of the drug. When taking the dissolution of the LD occurs in the upper section of the small intestine, which leads to a more rapid, maximum full absorption and the smallest negative effect on the stomach. Drug Technologies "SOLUTAB" allows you to achieve an increase in bioavailability, and not only amoxicillin, but also clavulanic acid.

According to the following image, you can make sure that the dispersed LFs have significant advantages over usual, not only in terms of pharmacokinetics, but also compliance: the ability to receive "lying patients" without the risk of "jams" capsules or tablets in the folds of the esophagus, one LF for adult and Child, the ability to choose - dissolve the tablet or take it entirely. It is impossible not to note the minimum effect of Soluteab Flemcomka on the intestinal microfloral, which is ensured by the minimum residual concentration of the drug in the intestine.

Currently, an increase in the detection of strains of pathogenic microorganisms producing beta-lactamases is noted. These enzymes produce actual causative agents of respiratory infections: H.INFLUENZAE, MORAXELLA CATARRBALIS, E. coli. The use of inhibitory penicillins is one of the most promising directions Overcoming resistance associated with beta-lactamas products.

Inhibitors are irreversibly bind to beta lactamases (the so-called suicidal effect) both outside the cell (in gram-positive bacteria) and inside it (in gram-negative), and make it possible to make an antimicrobial effect. The result of using inhibitors is a sharp decrease in the minimum overwhelming concentration (IPC) of the antibiotic and, therefore, a significant increase in the efficiency of the drug, which is clearly seen by the example of the comparison of the activity of amoxicillin and its combination with clavulanic acid.

Clavulanic ACID enhances the antibiotic action not only due to the blockade of enzymes, but also due to the anti-cultural effect (decrease in the concentration of microorganisms in a unit of volume), as well as post-beta-lactamazo-braking effect on some pathogens. The meaning of the latter is that under the action of clavulanate, the microbial cell ceases to produce beta-lactamase for some time, which gives amoxicillin an additional "degree of freedom". The post-beta-lactamazo-brake effect is preserved at least for 5 hours. After the acid begins its work, and if the microbial cell does not produce beta-lactamase for 5 hours, naturally increases the activity of amoxicillin.

Amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid manifests significant effect potentation. The addition of beta-lactamase inhibitor creates anti-indesses, which is important for the treatment of mixed infections, often encountered, for example, in obstetric and gynecological practice.

Let's return to the issues of the pharmacokinetics of the drug under consideration. There is an objective difference in the absorption of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid due to the difference in the acid-base properties of these substances. Amoxicillin is a weak base, and clavulanate is weak acid. As a result, LD data has different absorption constants, and conditions for incomplete absorption of Clavulanate are created.

Accordingly, there are differences and suction time - absorption occurs not only with different constants, but at different speeds. This is the second condition, due to which clavulanic acid "derses" with suction and retains the residual concentration in the intestine, which creates prerequisites for the adverse action of the acid on the intestinal mucous membrane - 20-25% of patients receiving conventional LF of this drug, which respond to diarrhea therapy, Forcing them to abandon medication.

How to level absorption differences? After all, the more acid is absorbed in the intestine, the smaller its residual toxic effect on the intestinal mucous membrane. Negative reactions associated with incomplete absorption of beta-lactamase inhibitor are diarrhea, pseudomambranous colitis, nausea, changes in flavoring sensations. SOLUTAB technology due to the use of microcapsulated form allows you to dramatically increase the absorption constant of the inhibitor, while the absorption constant of the antibiotic increases slightly (only 5%). When using Flemclav Soluteab, fewer side effects are expected. Now, for example, in the Russian Federation, a study is conducted, the preliminary results of which showed the absence of data unwanted effectsWhat is observed for the first time in relation to amoxicillin / clavulanate, at the same time there are data on the microbiological confirmation of the activity of this drug, clinical improvement and recovery.

There are differences in the permeability of various LF Amoxycillini + Acidi Clavulanici, having a different molecular weight. In this graph, it is clearly clear how the permeability is distinguished for ordinary LFs having a molecular weight of 600-800 g / mol, from the SOLUTAB Flemkelava (200-400 g / mol).

It has been established that the frequency of diarrhea during reception directly depends on the variability of the suction of Clawulanate. When applying conventional Tableted LF amoxicillin with clavulanate, including original drugIt fails to achieve uniform and fast acid absorption. In the case of Flemoclav Solutab, we get a much more encouraging result: the absorption differences of clavulanate from the tablet adopted entirely or pre-dissolved, insignificant. At the same time, we can observe and increasing the concentration of clavulanate in blood serum - using conventional LFs, a concentration can be achieved slightly more than 2 μg / ml, when using a non-volatile - almost 3 μg / ml.

Modern developments in the field of pharmacy affecting the pharmacokinetic properties of antimicrobial means allow you to improve therapeutic effect Antibiotic therapy in parallel with a decrease in the number and severity of adverse reactions. The new soluble AMOXYCILLINUM / ACIDUM CLAVULANICUM - Flemoclav Soluteab - is a fundamentally new quality breakthrough in the technology of drugs. Increased absorption ACIDI Clavulanici increases the protection and effectiveness of amoxycillini and at the same time reduces the likelihood of side effects associated with clavulanic acid, primarily a post-libeotic diarrhea. The unique LF ensures an increase in the "pharmacodynamic load" on the pathogens of infections, which contributes to more complete eradication and as a result of the prevention of new antibiotic pressure with the risk of formation of resistant bacteria strains. At the same time, LF "SOLUTAB" is extremely convenient for adult patients who prefer suspension tablets and for childhood patients.

Jaundice or violation of the liver function, developed against the background of amoxicillin + clavulanic acid or beta-lactam antibiotics

Infectious mononucleosis (including when the core appears this rash).

Medicinal interactions

Bactericidal antibiotics (including aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, cycloserine, vancomycin, rifampicin) have a synergistic effect; Bacteriostatic drugs (macrolides, chloramphenicol, lincoosamides, tetracyclines, sulfonamides) - antagonistic.

The drug increases the efficiency of indirect anticoagulants (suppressing the intestinal microflora, reduces the synthesis of vitamin K and the prothrombin index). With simultaneous reception of the drug with anticoagulants, it is necessary to monitor the blood coagulation indicators.

Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid reduces the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. With the simultaneous use of the drug with ethinyl estradiol or with drugs, in the process of metabolism of which para-aminobenzoic acid (PABK) is formed by the risk of developing "breakthrough" bleeding.

Diuretics, allopurinol, phenylbutazone, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other drugs that block the tubular secretion increase the concentration of amoxicillin (clavulanic acid is output mainly by glomerular filtration). Allopurinol increases the risk of skin rash.

With the simultaneous use of the drug with methotrexate, the toxicity of the latter increases.

Simultaneous use with disulfram should be avoided.

Pharmaceutically incompatible with solutions containing blood, proteins, lipids, glucose, dextran, bicarbonate. It is impossible to mix in a syringe or an infusion bottle with other drugs. Incompatible with aminoglycosides.

special instructions

Before starting the treatment of amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, it is necessary to collect a detailed history regarding the preceding hypersensitivity reactions on penicillins, cephalosporins or other beta-lactam antibiotics.

Serious, and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylactic shock) on penicillins are described. In the event of an allergic reaction, it is necessary to stop treating and start alternative therapy. In the development of serious reactions of hypersensitivity, adrenaline patient should be immediately administered. Oxigen therapy may be required, intravenous steroids and ensuring respiratory tract, including intubation.

Amoxicillin + Clawulanic acid should not be prescribed when suspected infectious mononucleosis, since in patients with this disease amoxicillin may cause skin rash, which makes it difficult to diagnose the disease.

Long-term treatment of amoxicillin + clavulanic acid can be accompanied by an excessive increase in microorganisms insensitive to it.

Carefully Amoxicillin should be used + clavulanic acid in patients with impaired liver function.

In patients receiving amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, occasionally an increase in prothrombin time is observed, therefore, while simultaneous use of amoxicillin + clavulanic acid and anticoagulants, it is necessary to conduct appropriate monitoring.

In patients with reduced diuresis in rare cases, crystalluria may occur. During the introduction of high doses of amoxicillin, it is recommended to make a sufficient amount of liquid and maintain adequate diuresis to reduce the likelihood of amoxicillin crystals.

Laboratory tests: High concentrations of amoxicillin give a false-positive reaction to urine glucose when using Benedict's reagent or felling solution. It is recommended to use enzymatic reactions with glucosidase.

Pregnancy and lactation period

Amoxicillin + Clawulanic acid penetrates breast milk, which can cause diarrhea and fungal infections of mucous membranes in breastfeeding children. The decision to suspend breastfeeding is taken after a thorough assessment of the ratio of benefit and risk by the attending physician.

Features of the influence of the medicinal product on the ability to control the vehicle or potentially hazardous mechanisms

Unknown.

Overdose

Symptoms: gastrointestinal disorders and disorders of the water and electrolyte balance are possible. Amoxicillic crystallurium is described, in some cases leading to the development of renal failure.

Treatment: Conducting symptomatic therapy, correction of the water and electrolyte balance. Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid is derived from blood using hemodialysis.

Release form and packaging

Clawulanic acid based combined drugs are widely antimicrobial due to the inhibition of beta-lactamase. Apply to the treatment of infectious diseases of the respiratory and urogenital system, soft tissues and skin.

Description of clavulanic acid

Clawulanic acid refers to beta-lactamase inhibitors due to beta-lactam structure, which makes it similar in structure with antibiotics.

This feature allows the substance to be combined with penicillin-binding protein structures on the walls of gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, which contributes to their destruction.

What does acid act

Clawulanic acid is able to exhibit small activity with respect to the cinema stick, enterococci, average with respect to enterobacterium and hemophilic stick, and strong - to bacteroids, moraxelle, staphylococcal and streptococci. This beta-lactam compound affects the gonducts and the atypical bacteria of the Chlamydium class and Legionell.

Clavulanic acid preparations

The antibiotics of beta-lactam rows are well combined with this substance, which allows you to create combined antibacterial medicines with different trade names, for example, Amoxyl-K drugs, "Augmentin", "Amoxiclav".

The main drug is the drug "Amoxicillin + Clawulanic Acid". Available in the form of tablets, powder for the preparation of suspensions (with the usual dosage and "forte"), powder for syrup and injection. The composition includes amoxicillin trihydrate and clavulanic acid in the form of potassium salts in different quantities. The tablets contains 500 or 250 mg of antibiotic and salts of 125 mg, while the total content of the active components can be 625 mg, 1 g, 375 mg.

Mechanism of action

Amoxicillin active substance is a semi-synthetic antibiotic with a wide range of actions aimed at gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. The compound may be collapsed with the participation of β-lactamas, so it does not act on microorganisms that produce these enzymes.

Clawulanic acid refers to β-lactam compounds that block a wide range of enzymes by forming stable inactivated complexes. Such an action prevents the enzymatic destruction of the amoxicillin antibiotic and contributes to the expansion of its activity on microorganisms, which is usually resistant to its influence.

What Trechit

Amoxicillin + Clawulanic Acid preparation can be treated by bacterial diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, skin and muscle tissue.

A tool is actively struggling in the formation of cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, sepsis, developed after abortion or childbirth, diseases of the small pelvis organs. The drug is used in osteomyelitis, infectiousness of blood, inflammation of peritoneum, postoperative diseases, animal bite.

How to take tablets

For each patient, the dose is selected individually, for which the gravity of the disease is taken into account, its location and sensitivity of bacteria to which clavulanic acid affects. Tablets with the total content of active substances 0.375 g for adults and children after 12 years, taking into account the lung or medium-sized course of the disease, are prescribed 1 piece 3 times a day. If the total content of active ingredients is 1 g, they take 1 piece 2 times a day.

Heavy infectious lesions are treated with a dose of 1 tablet with a total dosage of 0.625 g or 2 tablets of 0.375 g, taking 3 times a day.

Preparations containing clavulanic acid, instructions for use recommends taking only to prescribe the attending physician.

Application of other forms of the drug

The dose of medication is based on the recalculation of the content of antibiotic in it. For 12-year-old children, Amoxicillin + Clawulanic Acid Preparation The instruction does not advise you to assign tablets. It is better to use a suspension, syrup or drops for internal reception.

One-time and daose dose of amoxicillin is selected by age categories:

  • kids who are not three months prescribed 0.03 g per 1 kg of weight per day 2 times;
  • from 3 months of life and at easy, infection is used per day 0.025 g per 1 kg of weight 2 times or 0.02 g per 1 kg of weight 3 times;
  • heavy infections require 0.045 g per 1 kg of weight per day 2 times or 0.04 g per 1 kg of weight per day 3 times;
  • adults and children from 12 years, whose weight is from 40 kg and higher, can take a dose of 0.5 g to 2 times or 0.25 g 3 times;
  • with severe infections or diseases of the respiratory organs, 0.875 g is prescribed a day or 0.5 g 3 times.

The maximum daily dosage of amoxicillin for adults and children after 12 years is 6 g, and for children under the age of 12, not more than 0.045 g per 1 kg of body weight.

The maximum allowable daily number of clavulanic acid is also established: for adults and children after 12 years - 600 mg, for kids up to 12 years - 0.01 g per 1 kg body weight.

If swallowing is difficult, adults are also recommended for the use of suspension. For the preparation of liquid dosage forms, clean water serves as a solvent.

Intravenous administration for adults and adolescents after 12 years permits a dosage of 1 g of amoxicillin 4 times a day. The maximum number of per day - no more than 6 years in the children who have reached three months, up to 12 years of age, 0.025 g per 1 kg per 3 receptions are introduced, with complex lesions, 4 injections are used per day.

Babies up to 3 months, premature children introduce 0.025 g per 1 kg for 2 receptions per day, in the postperinatal development gap, 0.025 mg per 1 kg per 3 reception is prescribed.

The duration of therapy is two weeks, with acute otitis - about 10 days.

Prevention of infections after surgery during operations, which in time lasts no more than 60 minutes, are carried out by intravenous administration of 1 g of the drug at the time of preliminary anesthesia. Longer operations require the use of 1000 mg after 6 hours throughout the day. If the likelihood of infection is high, the use of the medication is continued in the next two or three days.


Patients with chronic renal failure adjustment of the dose and the number of administrations are selected in accordance with the cryatinine clearance indicators. If its value exceeds 30 ml per minute, then you do not need to adjust the dose. With the cryatinine clearance indicator up to 30 ml and at least 10 ml per minute first prescribe an internal use of 0.25 or 0.5 g per day, after 12 hours. The next step is intravenous administration of 1 g, and then the dosage is reduced to 500 mg. If creatinine clearance does not exceed 10 ml per minute, then 1 g is used, and then 0.5 g per day intravenously, another variant: 0.25 or 0.5 g per day orally for one application. With children's doses come in the same way.

Patients with hemodialysis are prescribed orally at 0.25 g or 0.5 g per application or intravenously introduced 500 mg. An additional action is to use 1 dose at the time of dialysis and 1 dosage at the end of the manipulation.
