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
enhances the activity of Amoxycillin against bacteria.
This combination medicine can be used to treat many different bacterial infections
such as ear, sinus, throat, lung, urinary tract, skin, teeth, joints, and bones.
It usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking
it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed
and do not become resistant.
