Amclav® Drops
Generic Name: Amoxicillin Trihydrate + Clavulanate Potassium
How Does it Work
Amclav® Drops combine Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, with Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Amoxicillin works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall, causing the bacteria to die. Clavulanic Acid enhances this effect by preventing bacterial resistance, making the combination more effective against a wider range of infections.
