composition
This is the combination of two antibiotics ie.amoxicillin 500 mg + clavulanic acid 125 mg
workings
When amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are combined, they work together to provide a more effective treatment for bacterial infections. The amoxicillin targets the bacteria, while the clavulanic acid helps to protect the amoxicillin from being broken down by the bacteria's enzymes. This allows the amoxicillin to remain active for a longer period of time and be more effective at killing the bacteria. Overall, the combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid is more effective at treating a wider range of bacterial infections compared to using amoxicillin alone.
