This high-strength formulation combines Amoxicillin 875mg (as amoxicillin potassium) with Clavulanic Acid 125mg to create a powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotic. Amoxicillin kills bacteria by interfering with cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes, protecting amoxicillin from bacterial resistance. Together, they effectively treat a wide range of infections caused by beta-lactamase–producing organisms.
