Description
Amoxycillin and Potassium Clavulanate Tablets IP – Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets are a combination medicine used to treat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is a widely used penicillin antibiotic that is effective against many bacteria. It prevents the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which causes the death of the bacterial cell. However, some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can inactivate amoxicillin, rendering it ineffective. Clavulanate potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps overcome this resistance. By combining amoxicillin with clavulanate potassium, these tablets can treat a wider range of infections, including those caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. This combination is usually prescribed for respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, sinusitis, skin and soft tissue infections, and some types of bacterial sinus infections. However, to ensure proper treatment and minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance, it is very important to use these tablets only as prescribed by a doctor.
