*Augmentin -- Standard Augmentin cannot exceed three tablets daily due to the clavulanate, thus is given with
amoxicillin, so that the total dose of the
amoxicillin component is as listed above for
amoxicillin. This combination can be effective when Bb beta lactamase is felt to be significant.
*Augmentin XR 1000 -- This is a time-release formulation and thus is a better choice than standard Augmentin. Dose -- 1000 mg q 8 h, to 2000 mg q 12 h based on blood levels.
