Drug Study SARAH

Co-Amoxiclav is an antibiotic that combines amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. It destroys bacteria by disrupting their ability to form cell walls, and clavulanic acid blocks bacterial defenses against penicillin. It is indicated for lower respiratory tract infections and infections resistant to amoxicillin alone. Common adverse effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, and allergic reactions like rashes. It is contraindicated in patients with penicillin hypersensitivity or risk of pseudomonas or candida superinfections. Nursing interventions include monitoring for signs of hypersensitivity, ensuring adequate fluid intake with diarrhea, assessing bowel patterns, and monitoring dosage and potential adverse effects.
