About Amoxycillin 400mg and Clavulanic Acid 57mg

CLAVAMOXY DS ORAL SUSPENSION is a powerful antibiotic formulation specially designed for pediatric use. It combines the broad-spectrum antibacterial action of Amoxycillin with the beta-lactamase inhibiting properties of Clavulanic Acid. This dual-action formula effectively treats a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, and skin infections.

Key Benefits:

How Does It Work:

Amoxycillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by preventing bacterial cell wall synthesis leading to bacterial death. However, some bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that can resist Amoxycillin alone. Clavulanic Acid inhibits this enzyme, protecting Amoxycillin from being broken down and allowing it to work more effectively. Together, they offer a synergistic action against resistant bacteria.
