About Moxclav 375 Tablet
Moxclav 375 Tablet is an antibiotic medication used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is a combination of two active ingredients—Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid—which work together to eliminate bacteria and stop their growth. Moxclav 375 Tablet is effective in treating infections of the lungs (e.g., pneumonia), ear, nasal sinus, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It is not effective against viral infections, such as the common cold or flu.
Key Ingredients

- Clavulanic Acid (125 mg)
How Moxclav 375 Tablet Works
Moxclav 375 Tablet combines two antibiotics:
- Amoxycillin: A broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls, which is essential for bacterial survival and reproduction. By preventing this formation, Amoxycillin stops the growth of bacteria.
- Clavulanic Acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacteria from becoming resistant to Amoxycillin. It works by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria, which can break down antibiotics like Amoxycillin, thereby enhancing its effectiveness.
Together, these ingredients help to kill the bacteria causing the infection and prevent bacterial resistance.
