How Augpen DS Sus Works

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from enzyme breakdown, extending its spectrum against beta-lactamase–producing bacteria.

Shake well before each dose, measure with a dosing spoon/syringe, complete the full course, and do not stop early even if symptoms improve.
