Augmentin is an oral antibacterial combination consisting of the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxicillin and the b-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin is an analog of ampicillin, derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The amoxicillin molecular formula is C16H19N3O5S·3H2O and the molecular weight is 419.46. Chemically, amoxicillin is (2S, 5R, 6R)-6-[(R)-(-)-2-Amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid trihydrate.

Clavulanic acid is produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus. It is a b-lactam structurally related to the penicillins and possesses the ability to inactivate a wide variety of b-lactamases by blocking the active sites of these enzymes. Clavulanic acid is particularly active against the clinically important plasmid mediated b-lactamases frequently responsible for transferred drug resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins. The clavulanate potassium molecular formula is C8H8KNO5 and the molecular weight is 237.25. Chemically clavulanate potassium is potassium (Z)-(2R,5R )-3-(2-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]-heptane-2-carboxylate.

Each Augmentin tablet contains 0.63 mEq potassium.

Each 125 mg chewable tablet and each 5 ml of reconstituted Augmentin 125 mg/5 ml oral suspension contains 0.16 mEq potassium. Each 250 mg chewable tablet and each 5 ml of reconstituted Augmentin 250 mg/5 ml oral suspension contains 0.32 mEq potassium. Each 200 mg chewable tablet and each 5 ml of reconstituted Augmentin 200 mg/5 ml oral suspension contains 0.14 mEq potassium. Each 400 mg chewable tablet and each 5 ml of reconstituted Augmentin 400 mg/5 ml oral suspension contains 0.29 mEq of potassium.
