Duet 625 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Duet 625 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Amoxicillin (500 mg): As a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic, amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. This action disrupts the reproduction process of bacteria, thereby reducing their numbers in your body.

• Clavulanic Acid (125 mg): This component acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor with little antimicrobial activity of its own. However, it enhances the antibacterial effectiveness of amoxicillin by protecting it from degradation by beta-lactamases – enzymes secreted by certain resistant bacteria that would otherwise render amoxicillin ineffective.

• Store Duet 625 Tablet 10 in a dry place at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect from light and moisture, and ensure the container is tightly closed.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to use the medicine before the expiry date printed on the pack.

• If you have a respiratory tract infection, maintaining good hydration can help thin mucus. So, aim to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

• For those taking this medicine for dental abscesses or infections, it's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene. Alongside your regular brushing and flossing, consider using an antimicrobial mouth rinse to help manage the oral environment.
