Amoxicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, preventing bacterial growth and reproduction. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamases, enzymes produced by some bacteria that inactivate amoxicillin. This combination ensures amoxicillin's effectiveness against a broader range of bacteria, including those resistant to amoxicillin alone.
