Important Use of Augmentin (Amoxicillin-clavulanate)

 Augmentin (Amoxicillin-clavulanate)

Amoxicillin and clavulanate combination is an antibiotic that belongs to the group of medicines known as penicillins and beta-lactamase inhibitors. 

• Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antimicrobial derived from penicillin. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of cell wall mucopeptides(which are crystal lattice-like structures composed of amino acids)
•   Clavulanic acid is a β-lactam drug that functions as a mechanism-based β-lactamase inhibitor.

While not effective by itself as an antibiotic, when combined with penicillin-group antibiotics, it can overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that secrete β-lactamase.
Amoxicillin and clavulanate combination is used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body (eg, ear, lungs, sinus, skin, urinary tract).
