Product Information

  • Description

    Co-Amoxiclav 375mg is a powerful antibiotic consisting of clavulanic acid and amoxicillin. It is used to treat mild to moderate bacterial infections. These active ingredients combine to create a synergistic effect, effectively treating a broader range of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains. Clavulanic acid works by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes, preventing the breakdown of amoxicillin. This allows for higher levels of amoxicillin to survive and exert its antibacterial action. The combination of these two antibiotics significantly enhances their effectiveness compared to using amoxicillin alone. It's important to emphasize that antibiotics should be used responsibly and as directed by medical professionals to avoid the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Co-Amoxiclav 375mg serves as a crucial tool in battling infections caused by susceptible bacteria, particularly those caused by beta-lactamase-producing strains that are resistant to amoxicillin alone.
