Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from degradation by beta-lactamase producing bacteria, thereby extending its spectrum.

Tablet (oral). Take exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually at the start of a meal/with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow with water; complete the full course even if you feel better. Do not skip doses.
