CLAVAM 150 MG – 1 VIAL

CLAVAM 150 MG contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, offering a potent combination for treating bacterial infections. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, while clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes that can neutralize amoxicillin. This combination enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin against resistant bacteria. CLAVAM 150 MG is effective for treating infections such as those of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin, providing a reliable solution for various bacterial infections.
