Generic Name Of Augmentin 375 Mg
Augmentin 375 Mg is also known as Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. The antibiotic amoxicillin, which belongs to the penicillin class, is combined with clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that increases amoxicillin’s efficacy by preventing bacterial resistance.
How Does Augmentin 375 Mg Work?
Augmentin 375Mg dual action is the secret to its efficacy. Amoxicillin acts by preventing the bacterial cell walls from forming, which eventually causes the bacteria to be destroyed. A bacterial enzyme known as beta-lactamase can degrade amoxicillin and make it ineffective.
It contains clavulanic acid, which functions as a beta-lactamase inhibitor to stop this enzyme’s activity and promote the efficient action of amoxicillin.
How To Take Augmentin 375Mg?
You should take augmentin 375mg exactly as directed by your physician. Usually taken every 8 to 12 hours, it can be taken with or without meals, though taking it with food can lessen gastrointestinal distress.
