About

Bactoclav Dry Syrup, containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic combination used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Amoxicillin from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. This synergistic action extends the spectrum of Amoxicillin to include many bacteria that would otherwise be resistant. The dry syrup formulation is reconstituted with water before use, making it suitable for pediatric patients and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is effective against infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues, and certain dental infections, providing a robust solution for bacterial pathogens.
