augmentin '250'

How long does Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium is about 1 hour (roughly 61 minutes) — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. The half-life is longer in newborns and young infants and in people with reduced kidney function, because amoxicillin is cleared mainly unchanged by the kidneys; it has no active metabolite.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Augmentin '250' cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.04 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins.
