Abstract
The necessity and rationality of the use of systemic antibiotics, especially in the outpatient settings, have been widely discussed in recent decades due to the growing resistance of bacterial pathogens. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major public health problems growing due to the excessive and/or incorrect use of this group of drugs (especially systemic antibiotics) in humans and animals. Given the absence of the appearance of fundamentally new antibacterial drugs on the global pharmaceutical market, it is advisable to revise the approach to prescribing existing ones. One way is to increase the dose of the most highly effective antibiotics in modern conditions, since it has been proven, in particular, that the use of their suboptimal doses (insufficient for reliable eradication of the pathogen) leads to the selection of resistant strains. A number of antibiotics have high-dose forms, but only amoxicillin/clavulanate (both in the form of a suspension and in tablets) has been developed for the treatment of infections caused by penicillin-resistant strains of pneumococcus. This year, a new high-dose dosage form of amoxicillin/clavulanate 14:1 (Amoxiclav®) is entering the Russian pharmaceutical market. As part of the discussion of approaches to the treatment of infections of respiratory tract and ENT organs in children, taking into account the global growth of antibiotic resistance of respiratory pathogens in modern conditions, an emphasis was made on determining the place of inhibitor-protected amoxicillin with an increased content of amoxicillin and a ratio of active ingredients of 14:1 in the treatment of community-acquired infections of respiratory tract and ENT organs in children. Thus, the high-dose form of amoxicillin/clavulanate 14:1 (Amoxiclav®) can be used for the main forms of respiratory tract infection both in outpatient and inpatient pediatric practice, providing clinical and microbiological efficacy of therapy and minimizing the risk of selection of resistant strains of the main bacterial pathogens of respiratory tract infections (including ENT pathology)
