It is less stable in environments containing glucose or dextran. Mixing Co-Amoxiclav with other medications is prohibited.
Taking an excessive amount of Co-Amoxiclav may lead to symptoms like insomnia, restlessness, and dizziness, with potential rare cases of seizures. Hemodialysis may be required in cases of overdose, with treatment focusing on symptom management.
