Novaclav 625 Tablet is a combination antibiotic that contains Amoxicillin (500 mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125 mg). Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria, while clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria, which makes amoxicillin effective against resistant bacterial strains.

Uses:

• Treatment of respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis

• Management of urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Treatment of skin and soft tissue infections

• Effective against ear, nose, and throat infections like otitis media and tonsillitis

• Management of dental infections or abscesses

• Used in certain cases of bone and joint infections under doctor’s supervision

Side Effects:
Novaclav 625 is generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience:

• Common: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort

• Occasional: Headache, dizziness, mild skin rash or itching

• Rare but serious: Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), liver enzyme changes, jaundice, severe diarrhea (possible Clostridium difficile infection)

Precautions:
Take the tablet after meals to reduce stomach upset. Complete the full course as prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance. Avoid in patients with a history of penicillin allergy or severe liver/kidney disease. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen during treatment.
