Introduction to Amclav DS Suspension

Amclav DS Suspension combines 312.5mg 5ml of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, making it a powerful antibiotic for treating bacterial infections. It belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is specifically formulated to tackle resistant bacteria effectively. This medication is available by prescription only.

Composition and Class

Amclav DS Suspension contains:

• Amoxicillin: A penicillin-based antibiotic that prevents bacteria from forming protective cell walls, causing their destruction.

• Clavulanic Acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the efficacy of amoxicillin by combating resistant bacteria.

• Mechanism of Action

  Amoxicillin in Amclav DS Suspension works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial cell death. Clavulanic Acid ensures the effectiveness of amoxicillin by neutralizing beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. This combination effectively treats infections in the respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, and soft tissues.
