How it works

Amoxicillin prevents bacteria from forming cell walls, and Clavulanic acid enhances Amoxicillin's effectiveness against specific bacteria. Together, they create a potent combination that not only inhibits bacterial growth but also ensures a more robust response against bacteria that may otherwise resist the effects of Amoxicillin alone. This dual-action mechanism makes the combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid effective in treating a broad range of bacterial infections, providing comprehensive coverage and promoting successful recovery.
