[|Human|] My mother aged about 70 is a patient of chronic hypertension.She has now developed severe chest infection.In earlier years he responded well to ceftum 500.Now the dotctor has advised Augmentin1000 duo every 12 hours.Will it suit her or ceftum is safer and better?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, augmenting is having better coverage and superior to septum. Augmenting is having combination of Amoxicillin and clavulinic acid. Septum is having cefuroxime. Combination with clavulinic acid makes augmenting better antibiotic. It is having higher bacterial coverage. It acts not only on gram positive bacteria but also on gram negative and anaerobic bacteria. So don't replace augmenting with septum. Augmenting will mostly suit her and treat her lung infection. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
