BENEFITS OF AMOXYCILLIN- CLAVULANATE FOR INJECTION
In Treatment of Bacterial infections
Amoxycillin- Clavulanate for Injection contains two different medicines, Amoxycillin and
Clavulanic Acid, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause infections. Amoxycillin
works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and
