Introduction
Aggreso is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Amoxicillin and Sulbactam. It is available under the brand name Aggreso. This medication is primarily used to treat various bacterial infections.
Uses
Aggreso is prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Your healthcare provider will determine the specific use of this medication based on your individual condition.
Dosage and Administration

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Generally, this medication is taken orally, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole and not crush or chew it.
Mechanism of Action
Aggreso contains two active ingredients: Amoxicillin and Sulbactam. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Sulbactam, on the other hand, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps to prevent certain bacteria from becoming resistant to the effects of Amoxicillin. Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to effectively treat bacterial infections.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin rash. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
In rare cases, Aggreso may cause more serious side effects. These may include severe allergic reactions, such as swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or rash. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions
Aggreso may interact with certain medications, including probenecid and methotrexate. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. They can determine if any interactions may occur and adjust your treatment accordingly.

Before taking Aggreso, inform your healthcare provider of any known allergies to Amoxicillin, Sulbactam, or any other medications. Additionally, discuss your medical history, especially if you have a history of liver disease, kidney disease, or any other underlying health conditions.
