How Synbeta Tablet works

Synbeta Tablet is a combination of two medicines:Amoxicillin and Sulbactam. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic. It works by preventingthe formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for thesurvival of bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reducesresistance and enhances the activity of Amoxicillin against bacteria.

Amoxicillin (Synbeta) is indicated inthe treatment of infections due to susceptible (ONLY β-lactamase-negative)strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below:

Infections of the ear, nose, and throat - due toStreptococcus spp. (α- and β-hemolytic strains only), S. pneumoniae,Staphylococcus spp., or H. influenzae.

Infections of the genitourinary tract - due to E. coli,P. mirabilis, or E. faecalis.

Abnormal prolongation of prothrombin time (increasedinternational normalized ratio [INR]) has been reported rarely in patientsreceiving Amoxicillin (Synbeta) and oral anticoagulants. Appropriate monitoringshould be undertaken when anticoagulants are prescribed concurrently.Adjustments in the dose of oral anticoagulants may be necessary to maintain thedesired level of anticoagulation.
