How it works

• Amoxicillin kills bacteria by stopping them from building their protective cell wall.
• Some bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that can destroy antibiotics.
• Clavulanic acid blocks that enzyme, allowing amoxicillin to keep working effectively.

Common uses

It is used for bacterial infections such as:

• Ear infections
• Throat and sinus infections
