MOXCLAV DS CP 457MG/5ML is a dual-action antibiotic suspension containing Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid, formulated to treat bacterial infections in both children and adults. Amoxycillin disrupts the bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the death of the bacteria. Clavulanic Acid prevents bacteria from becoming resistant to Amoxycillin by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes, ensuring the antibiotic remains effective. This suspension is especially useful for treating respiratory tract infections, ear infections, and skin infections.
