How Does It Work?

• Duet 625 tablet acts by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of the bacteria, thus killing the bacteria responsible for infections.
• However, bacteria make the enzyme (beta-lactamases) which can destroy Amoxicillin.
• Clavulanic acid inactivates this enzyme and hence helps Amoxicillin to function optimally.

Interactions with other medicines

• No interaction reports are available for this combination. However, as this medicine contains amoxicillin & clavulanic acid, any interactions seen with these two components when taken alone may occur with this combination too.
• Increased risk of bleeding when taken with medicines used to thin the blood like warfarin, acenocoumarol. There is a need to check blood tests like PT-INR.
• Increased side effects when taken with methotrexate (used in the treatment of cancer).
• Medicines used to treat gout like allopurinol or probenecid.
• Medicines used to modify the immune response during an organ transplant like mycophenolate mofetil.
