Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid Tablets come with the brand name “App-MOX CV 375” and are a type of medicine that fights infections caused by bacteria. These infections can affect different parts of the body like the ears, nose, throat, skin, bones, and urinary or respiratory systems.
Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid Tablets contain two ingredients: Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin stops bacteria from building their protective outer layer, which they need to survive, ultimately killing them. Clavulanic acid helps make Amoxicillin more effective against bacteria by reducing their resistance to it. Together, these two ingredients work to treat bacterial infections.
