Avloclav Tablet 500 mg+125 mg is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combining Amoxicillin 500 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg. It is formulated to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including those caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin alone. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid protects amoxicillin from enzymatic degradation, enhancing its effectiveness. This tablet provides a reliable treatment option for moderate to severe infections.
