Only use it when absolutely necessary and under physician supervision.
While breastfeeding, the drug may go into breast milk in small doses, although it is usually safe for babies who are nursing.
When breastfeeding, mothers should watch for diarrhea, a rash, or thrush in their babies.
Talk to your doctor before taking this prescription if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

To make sure the suspension is even, shake the bottle firmly before each use.

How it works:
Advent Syrup is a mix of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid that works better together than separately.
Amoxicillin:
A type of penicillin antibiotic that stops bacteria from making their cell walls, which causes the bacterium to break open and die.
Clavulanic Acid:
A beta-lactamase inhibitor that stops bacteria from making enzymes that break down amoxicillin.
This makes amoxicillin work better against bacteria that are resistant to it.
Together, they protect against a wide range of illnesses by killing bacteria.

Medicine interaction:
Advent Syrup might not work well with certain medicines:
Allopurinol: May make rashes on the skin more likely.
Warfarin and other anticoagulants: May raise the risk of bleeding; dosage monitoring is necessary.
Methotrexate: May heighten toxicity owing to diminished clearance.
Probenecid: Raises the amount of amoxicillin in the blood.
Oral contraceptives: They might not work as well; it's best to use other forms of birth control as well.
Before starting Advent, tell your doctor about all the drugs or supplements you are currently using.
