In recent years, the human body has been increasingly attacked by bacterial infections with which the immune system is not able to fight on its own. That is why almost every patient, doctors prescribe a course of taking antibiotics. However, for such a decision, it is very important to undergo special medical examinations that will show a complete picture of the state of health and help determine the choice of the drug. Indeed, in order for an antibiotic to cope with the task, it is necessary that its composition has a detrimental effect on pathogenic
microorganisms. So, for example, for diseases of bacterial origin of the upper and lower respiratory tract, urinary system and all kinds of infections of bone and soft tissues, an
antibacterial drug called Flemoklav solutab is prescribed.
Instruction manual
Analogues of this drug, like himself, contain amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in their composition . This combination of substances makes the drug more effective, and such a combination of components is called a new generation of antibiotics because of the ability to be absorbed in the body . The advantage of this group of drugs is that the composition of the components is selected in such a way as to prevent premature decomposition of the active substances, which makes their intake more effective. The Flemoklav Solutab tablets are taken orally, washed down with a sufficient amount of water, immediately before a meal. This rule will avoid possible dyspeptic symptoms. Often, Flemoklav Solutab analogs with a similar composition are also taken before meals. Assign similar drugs from the age of three months. The drug "Flemoklav solutab" is available in tablets with a dosage of 125, 250, 500 and 875 mg.
Reception schedule
Based on the age of the patient and his condition, the doctor prescribes a special dose and regimen:
- For children from 3 to 24 months, this is usually two doses per day of 125 mg with an exact interval of 12 hours.
- From 2 to 7 years, the drug is prescribed in the same dosage, but 3 times a day. In this case, it is important to observe the same time interval between doses in order to maintain the concentration of the active substances of the drug in the body.
- From 7 to 12 years, the dosage is doubled, so you need to take the medicine 250 mg 3 times a day.
- Adults, depending on the condition, are prescribed 500 or 875 mg 2 or 3 times a day with the same time interval between doses.
Analogs
“Flemoklav solutab” is a representative of the penicillin series of antibiotics, and it occupies a leading position in the fight against pathogens. However, if for some reason it needs to be replaced, you can pay attention to analogues of a synonymous form. In other words, drugs of identical composition. This may be the drug "Amoxiclav 2x", which also consists of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, as well as other excipients. However, the peculiarity of this drug is that it is not prescribed for children under the age of twelve. Therefore, if the drug was prescribed to a small child, you need to find another
a replacement or find exactly the tool "Flemoklav solutab." Analogs, the price of which can be significantly lower than the cost of this medicine, often have similar features. The manufactured dosage of the drug may also vary.
How to choose the right replacement?
When replacing a drug, it is very important to consider the reason for this. There may be several: intolerance to the components, price category and sensitivity of bacteria to the composition of the drug. The most important item on this list is component intolerance. To avoid unwanted, and sometimes very serious consequences of taking, special attention when replacing should be given to the composition of the medicine. In this case, it is worth choosing analogues "Flemoklav solutab" with a different composition. It can be antibacterial drugs such as Sumamed or Ceftriaxone. Both agents have completely different active ingredients. As for the sensitivity of bacteria, then a special laboratory test is needed to help determine which drug will best cope with the task. The disadvantage of this analysis is that for
it takes at least a couple of days, which in some cases is completely impossible to afford.
Price category as a selection criterion
If the purpose of the replacement is to find cheaper analogs of Flemoklav Solutab, then special attention should be paid to the combination of components. The main substance in the described preparation is amoxicillin, however, if it is not paired with clavulanic acid, it will not have such a clear effect that, in turn, will not allow to achieve the desired concentration of the substance in the blood. As a result, there will be no desired result of the treatment. However, drugs such as Amoxiclav or Augmentin are able to fully replace Flemoklav Solutab, although each of them has its own reception.
