Avloclav Tablet 875 mg+125 mg is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that combines Amoxicillin 875 mg with Clavulanic Acid 125 mg. This combination is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including those caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, which are resistant to amoxicillin alone. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid prevents the degradation of amoxicillin by bacterial enzymes, ensuring maximum antibacterial activity.
