CLAVULIST 1000MG TABS x14 AQUATIX

Clavulist is an antibiotic containing as its active pharmaceutical ingredient, Amoxicillin
and Clavulanic Acid, a b-lactamase inhibitor. It also contains inactive ingredients called excipients in sufficient quantities. Amoxicillin has a broad
spectrum of bactericidal activity against many Gram-positive & Gram-negative
microorganisms but it is susceptible to degradation by b-lactamases and
therefore the spectrum of activity does not include microorganisms, which
produce these enzymes. Clavulanic acid possesses the ability to inactivate a
wide range of b-lactamase enzymes commonly found in microorganisms
resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins. Thus Clavulanic acid in
combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid protects Amoxicillin from
degradation by b-lactamase enzymes and effectively extends the antibiotic
spectrum to embrace a wide range of microorganisms.
