Benefits of Amoxyclav Tablet
- In Treatment of Bacterial Infections:
- Amoxyclav 375 Tablet combines Amoxycillin (a penicillin-type antibiotic) and Clavulanic Acid (a beta-lactamase inhibitor).
- Amoxycillin stops the growth of bacteria by preventing the formation of their protective cell wall.
- Clavulanic Acid enhances the effectiveness of Amoxycillin by inhibiting beta-lactamase, an enzyme some bacteria use to resist antibiotics, thereby allowing Amoxycillin to work more effectively.
- This combination makes Amoxyclav effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including those that might be resistant to other antibiotics.
