KLCLAV KID SYP DS 30ML

About

KLCLAV KID SYP DS 30ML is a powerful combination antibiotic, featuring Amoxicillin alongside Clavulanic Acid. Amoxicillin, a well-known penicillin-class antibiotic, works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial death. The crucial addition of Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protects Amoxicillin from degradation by bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases), which are a common mechanism of antibiotic resistance. This synergistic combination significantly broadens Amoxicillin's spectrum of activity, making it effective against many bacterial strains that would otherwise be resistant. It is widely utilized in pediatric practice for treating a variety of bacterial infections, particularly those where resistance to Amoxicillin alone is a significant clinical concern, ensuring more effective treatment outcomes.
