This penicillin antibiotic has a wide spectrum of action, which is why it is used for various infectious diseases caused by the action of pathogenic bacteria. Medication Amoxiclav - analogues of which have such an effect - has a small list of contraindications and rarely causes side reactions in patients. Regardless of the minor toxicity, it is physician who can prescribe drugs for antibiotic therapy only.
Than to replace Amoxiclav
The main antibiotic is amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Components of Amoxiclav have a pronounced antibacterial effect, thereby reducing the manifestation of the infectious process. In pharmacies, you can buy a semi-synthetic antibiotic in powder form for the preparation of a suspension, tablets and solution for injection. Penicillin amoxicillin together with clavulanic acid destroys different strains of bacteria, including gram-negative and gram-positive microflora.
It is not difficult to find an analogue of Amoxiclav in tablets or in the form of a suspension, while the substitutes for this antibiotic are selected in two ways:
- according to the therapeutic effect( the analog has the same effect as Amoxiclav, but provides the effect through other components in the composition);
- in structure( the analog contains the same active substances that are in Amoxiclav).
Flemoclave
The drug belongs to the penicillin antibiotics of the β-lactam group. Flemoclav suppresses Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains of microorganisms. The medication is used to treat severe infections such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, peritonitis. It is forbidden to take it for children whose weight has not yet reached 13 kg. When appointing Flemoklava, the doctor takes into account that the active substances penetrate the hematoplacental barrier.
The broad action of the antibiotic is provided by a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate. To reduce the risk of side effects from the digestive tract, you must take the pill just before eating. In addition, specialists strongly recommend that you follow the prescribed dosage clearly and take the drug at regular intervals. Such structural analogues of Amoxiclav as Flemoclav are consumed not less than 3 days after the disappearance of the symptoms of pathology.
Flemoxin Solutab
The agent refers to semi-synthetic penicillins of an acid-fasting range of a wide range of action. Active ingredient Flemoxin is amoxicillin trihydrate. The peculiarity of this analogue of Amoxiclav is its rapid absorption in the digestive tract and complete absorption( more than 93%).This process is not affected by the intake of tablets during meals. The maximum concentration of amoxicillin in the blood is reached within 1-2 hours after the application of the drug.
The antibiotic of the penicillin type has a pleasant citrus flavor, while the drug should be swallowed without chewing before or after eating. One tablet can be divided into several parts for easier reception, and washed down with a sufficient amount of water. In addition, it is possible to dissolve the drug in water to obtain a syrup( in 20 ml) or a suspension( in 100 ml).
What is better than Amoxiclav or Flemoxin? In contrast to its analogue, the first contains clavulanic acid. Flemoxin Solutab is destroyed by penicillinase, so the action of Amoxiclav is stronger and more effective. In addition, the latter has a more extensive list of indications. Flemoxin, according to the instructions, may be prescribed if the severity of the infection is low.
Augmentin or Amoxiclav
The drug is a modern antibiotic of the penicillin series, which has a wide spectrum of action. The composition of Augumentin, as in the case of Amoxiclav, includes clavulanic acid and amoxicillin. The drugs differ only in auxiliary substances( in Amoxiclav, the composition is more diverse, so the risk of developing allergies is higher).Medications have a similar effect: antibiotics reduce the harmful effects of bacteria, eliminating inflammatory processes. The main difference between the drugs is their price and the producer country( the value of Augmentin is higher).
Amoxicillin
Medication belongs to the group of cheap analogues of Amoxiclav and is a semisynthetic penicillin with a bactericidal action. The drug has a pronounced resistance to hydrochloric acid, almost completely absorbed in the intestine. The drug is prescribed for bronchitis, urethritis, colibenteritis, pneumonia, etc. Amoxicillin is less expensive than Amoxiclav, but in rare cases it can cause a dangerous side effect - the development of superinfection, in which the body becomes infected again, but already with a different type of infection.
Amoxicillin and Amoxiclav may be used in pregnancy, but there is a risk that even small doses of amoxicillin will cause a cross-allergic reaction with cephalosporins. The main difference between the drugs is their composition: Amoxicillin does not have clavulanic acid, therefore it has a lower therapeutic effect compared to the analog. Doctors are less likely to prescribe Amoxicillin, because bacteria become more resistant to this active substance( this is especially true for staphylococci).
Sumamed
The antibiotic of the group of azalides of the subgroup of macrolide preparations has a strong bactericidal effect in the inflammatory focus. According to the instructions, azithromycin penetrates the respiratory tract, tissues and organs of the urogenital system, skin and other soft tissues. A long period of excretion of the active substance and its high concentration in the body are due to the low binding of azithromycin to plasma proteins. Sumamed remains in the foci of inflammation within 5-7 days after admission, so the course of treatment can be reduced to 3-5 days.
Oxamp
The combination antibiotic combines the spectrum of action of ampicillin and oxacillin. The first has a bactericidal effect and is resistant to acidic medium, the latter provides the stability of ampicillin to the action of penicillinase. The number of tablets and the duration of the course of treatment is prescribed by the doctor, however, a single dose for adults and children over the age of 14 is the same - 0.5-1 g( a day of taking 2-4 g of the drug).During Oxamps, it is important to monitor the activity of the liver and kidneys. In addition, the analogue of Amoxiclav may provoke the development of superinfection.
Fibell
After application, both active components of Fibella are absorbed into the digestive tract, while the process is not affected by simultaneous eating. If swallowing is difficult in a child or an adult, the use of a suspension is recommended, for this, the analog of Amoxiclav is dissolved solely with water. According to the instructions, Fibell can be used for infections of soft tissues, skin, osteomyelitis, postoperative infections, bacterial lesions of the ENT organs and the genitourinary system.
Price of analogues Amoxiclav
The instructions for the preparation contain a list of analogues that can be used when replacement is necessary. In this case, both penicillin and other types of antibiotics with a similar therapeutic effect can be used. Below is a table with the main relatively cheap analogues of Amoxiclave of Russian and imported production, which, according to the doctors' reviews, are highly effective against different strains of infections.
