Amoxycillin 200mg and Potassium Clavulanate 28.5mg Oral Suspension IP per 5ml Uses
This oral suspension is a combination antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is effective against infections of the ear, nose, throat, respiratory tract (like bronchitis and pneumonia), urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. The medicine works against bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin alone due to the presence of clavulanate, which inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria.
How Amoxycillin + Potassium Clavulanate works
Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria by interfering with their cell wall synthesis. Potassium clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from destroying amoxicillin. Together, they broaden the spectrum of activity and enhance the effectiveness against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
