Amoxycillin (500mg) + 125mg Clavulanic Acid

Introduction

CLAVAMOXY 625 DUO combines the power of Amoxicillin 500mg and Clavulanic Acid 125mg in a single oral tablet to offer broad-spectrum antibacterial protection. This dual-action formulation is widely prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), dental infections, and skin infections. The synergistic action of Amoxycillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic, and Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, makes CLAVAMOXY 625 DUO highly effective against resistant bacterial strains that produce beta-lactamase enzymes.

Amoxicillin 500mg Clavulanic Acid 125mg Uses

CLAVAMOXY 625 DUO is prescribed for the treatment of:

• Upper respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis, otitis media)

• Lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Dental infections

• Bone and joint infections

Mechanism of Action

• Amoxicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death.

• Clavulanic Acid inactivates beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, allowing amoxicillin to act effectively.

Together, they extend the antibacterial spectrum to include beta-lactamase–producing organisms like Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and E. coli.
