Amoxicillin (Mpx-CV) is an antibiotic in a group of drugs called penicillins. Amoxicillin (Mpx-CV) fights bacteria in the body.
Clavulanate potassium is a form of Clavulanic Acid (Mpx-CV), which is similar to penicillin. Clavulanate potassium fights bacteria that is often resistant to penicillins and other antibiotics.
The combination of Amoxicillin (Mpx-CV) and clavulanate potassium is used to treat many different infections caused by bacteria, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin.
Amoxicillin (Mpx-CV) and clavulanate potassium may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Medicine Interaction: When two or more medicines are taken together, it can change how the medicines work and increase the risk of side-effects. In medical terms, this is called as a Drug Interaction.
Mpx CV Tablet interacts with allopurinol, which is used to treat redness and tenderness in the joints (gout). Patients using amoxicillin with allopurinol may experience the increased occurrence of rashes as compared to patients taking amoxicillin alone. It is unknown whether the increased incidence of rashes is due to the combined usage of amoxicillin with allopurinol or due to increased levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia) in patients.
There may be an interaction of Mpx CV with oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol and warfarin), which are used to prevent blood clotting. The use of amoxicillin in combination with oral anticoagulants may abnormally increase the bleeding time in patients. Careful monitoring of blood clotting parameter, with the use or withdrawal of amoxicillin and dose adjustment of oral anticoagulants, is recommended in patients using anticoagulants with Mpx CV.
Mpx CV Tablet may interact with probenecid, which is used to treat redness and tenderness in the joints (gout). Probenecid decreases the secretion of amoxicillin in the kidney. The use of Mpx CV with probenecid may increase the level of amoxicillin in the blood. Patients should not use probenecid with Mpx CV.
