Prescription Required.Why?
A penicillin-type antibiotic that fights against bacteria.
Treatment of bacterial infections of the middle ear (otitis media), sinuses (sinusitis), lungs (pneumonia), skin and skin structures, urinary tract infections, and other susceptible bacterial infections.
Treatment of infections caused by bacteria resistant to amoxicillin alone.
Amoxicillin interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamases, enzymes produced by bacteria that inactivate amoxicillin, thereby extending the antibiotic's effectiveness against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
