Clacido Injection (500 mg + 100 mg)/10 ml is a combination antibiotic containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This formulation is designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, especially those caused by organisms resistant to standard penicillin therapy.

The addition of clavulanic acid helps overcome bacterial resistance by inhibiting enzymes that would otherwise inactivate amoxicillin. This makes Clacido Injection a powerful and effective treatment option for moderate to severe infections, particularly in hospital settings.
