How Life Clav Lb Tablet works

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes, protecting amoxicillin from breakdown and extending its spectrum. Lactic acid bacillus is a probiotic that helps restore normal gut flora and may reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
