1. What Amoxicillina e Acido Clavulanico Sandoz A/S is and what it is used for
Amoxicillina e Acido Clavulanico Sandoz A/S is an antibiotic that works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It contains two different active ingredients called amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.

- severe ear, nose and throat infections
- respiratory tract infections
- urinary tract infections
- skin and soft tissue infections, including dental infections

Other medicines and Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid Sandoz A/S
Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines you can buy without a prescription and herbal products.
If you are taking allopurinol (used for gout) together with Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid Sandoz A/S, you may be more likely to develop a skin allergic reaction.

If you are taking methotrexate (a medicine used to treat cancer, rheumatic diseases, and severe psoriasis), penicillins may reduce the excretion of methotrexate, potentially increasing the risk of side effects.
Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid Sandoz A/S may affect the action of mycophenolate mofetil (a medicine used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs).
