Amoxicillin is a type of antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin family.

Clavulanate is a type of beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some bacteria that can break down amoxicillin, making it ineffective.

The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate allows amoxicillin to be effective against a wider range of bacteria, including those that produce beta-lactamases.

Infections of the respiratory tract, including sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia

Infections of the ear, nose, and throat, such as otitis media and tonsillitis

Skin and soft tissue infections

Urinary tract infections

Dental infections

Certain types of pelvic inflammatory disease

Amoxicillin works by preventing bacteria from forming cell walls, which is essential for their survival. Clavulanate protects amoxicillin from being broken down by beta-lactamases, making it more effective against a wider range of bacteria.
