Injection Augmentin 1.2g IV dose frequency adults children

Here is the complete dosing guide for Injection Augmentin 1.2 g (Amoxicillin 1000 mg + Clavulanate 200 mg) IV:

Note: The correct strength is 1.2 g (not 1.2 mg). Each vial contains amoxicillin 1000 mg + clavulanic acid 200 mg.

Inj. Augmentin 1.2 g - IV Dosing

Adults & Children ≥ 40 kg (or > 12 years)

Severity	Dose	Frequency
Moderate infections	1.2 g IV	Every 8 hours (3 doses/day)
Severe infections	1.2 g IV	Every 6 hours (4 doses/day)

Children 3 months - 12 years

Severity	Dose	Frequency
Moderate	30 mg/kg IV	Every 8 hours
Severe	30 mg/kg IV	Every 6 hours

(Each 30 mg = amoxicillin 25 mg + clavulanate 5 mg)

Neonates / Infants 0-3 months

Weight	Dose	Frequency
< 4 kg (premature/perinatal)	30 mg/kg	Every 12 hours
> 4 kg	30 mg/kg	Every 8 hours

Surgical Prophylaxis (Adults)

Short procedures (< 1 hour): 1.2 g IV at induction of anaesthesia - single dose
Longer/high-risk procedures (e.g. colorectal): 1.2 g at 0, 8, 16 (and 24) hours - up to 4 doses in 24 hours

Dose Adjustment in Renal Impairment (Adults)

Creatinine Clearance (CrCl)	Dose
> 30 mL/min	No change - 1.2 g every 8 hours
10-30 mL/min	1.2 g stat, then 600 mg every 12 hours
< 10 mL/min	1.2 g stat, then 600 mg every 24 hours
Haemodialysis	Additional 600 mg during and at end of dialysis

Administration

Slow IV injection: Reconstitute with 20 mL water for injection, give over 3-4 minutes
IV infusion: Add to 100 mL NS 0.9%, infuse over 30-40 minutes
Reconstituted solution must be used within 15 minutes if given as injection, and the total time from reconstitution to end of infusion must not exceed 1 hour

Maximum Treatment Duration

Usually 5-14 days; do not extend beyond 14 days without clinical review

In summary: For most adult infections, 1.2 g IV every 8 hours is the standard dose (maximum 4 doses/day in severe cases). Always adjust for renal impairment.
