It is an amoxicillin based antibiotic. The XR means that there is a higher dose of the amoxicillin in these than the "regular" Augmentin, not extended release.

To sum up what others are saying...it is a powerful antibiotic. XR means it stays in your system longer.
Just make sure you have something in your stomach when you take it. It can be very upsetting to your tummy.
