How It Works 

The medication combines two active ingredients: 

• Amoxicillin: This is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacteria to survive, thereby killing the bacteria.
• Clavulanic acid: Some bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase which can destroy amoxicillin and make it ineffective. Clavulanic acid acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protecting amoxicillin from degradation and enhancing its effectiveness against resistant bacteria. 
 

Important Considerations

• Prescription Only: This medication is available only with a doctor's prescription.
• Complete the Full Course: Always complete the entire course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can allow bacteria to survive and the infection to return or become more difficult to treat (antibiotic resistance).
• Take with Food: It is recommended to take Amoxyclav 625 with a meal or snack to minimize stomach upset.
• Consult a Doctor: Inform your healthcare provider about any allergies (especially to penicillins), kidney or liver problems, or other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions or side effects.
