Augmentin Duo 400 oral suspension is indicated in the short term treatment of the following bacterial infections when caused by sensitive organisms (see Microbiology). Skin and skin structure infections: Urinary tract infections (complicated and uncomplicated): Upper respiratory tract infections including sinusitis, otitis media: Lower respiratory tract infections including acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and community acquired pneumonia. Appropriate culture and susceptibility studies should be performed to identify the causative organism(s) and determine its (their) susceptibility to Augmentin. However, when there is good reason to believe an infection may involve any of the beta-lactamase producing organisms listed above, therapy may be instituted prior to obtaining the results from bacteriological and susceptible studies. Once these results are known, therapy should be adjusted if appropriate. The treatment of mixed infections caused by amoxycillin susceptible organisms and beta-lactamase producing organisms susceptible to Augmentin Duo 400, should not require the addition of another antibiotic due to the amoxycillin content of Augmentin Duo 400.
