Full Prescribing Info
Overdosage
Clinical features of overdosage with Co-amoxiclav may include gastrointestinal symptoms, fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Amoxicillin crystalluria, leading to renal failure, has also been observed in some cases. Convulsions may occur in patients with impaired renal function or those receiving high doses.
Children (Additional Statement): A prospective study of 51 pediatric patients at a poison control center suggested that overdosages of less than 250 mg/kg of amoxicillin are not associated with significant clinical symptoms and do not require gastric emptying.
Symptomatic treatment is recommended. Co-amoxiclav can be removed by hemodialysis.
