This injection is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, and dental infections.

How Amoxycillin 1g and Potassium Clavulanate 200mg Injection works

Potassium clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacteria from destroying amoxicillin, thereby extending its spectrum of activity. Together, they provide a synergistic effect against susceptible bacteria.
