AUGMENTIN 1.2 g – 1 BOTTLE

Description

AUGMENTIN 1.2G is a dual-action antibiotic containing amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic, disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the death of the bacteria. Clavulanate potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacteria from degrading amoxicillin, thereby enhancing its efficacy. This combination allows AUGMENTIN 1.2G to effectively combat a wide array of bacterial infections.

Mechanism of Action
AUGMENTIN 1.2G works through a two-pronged approach. Amoxicillin targets bacterial cell walls, disrupting their integrity and leading to bacterial cell death. Clavulanate potassium inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria, which would otherwise inactivate amoxicillin. This synergistic effect ensures that AUGMENTIN 1.2G remains effective against a broader range of bacterial strains.
