FAMICLAV 250/62.5 is a combination antibiotic containing amoxicillin (250 mg) and clavulanic acid (62.5 mg). Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, effectively treating a wide range of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps protect amoxicillin from being broken down by certain bacteria that produce beta-lactamase, an enzyme that can render amoxicillin ineffective. This combination broadens the spectrum of amoxicillin's activity, allowing it to treat infections caused by bacteria that would otherwise be resistant. FAMICLAV is commonly used to treat respiratory, urinary tract, skin, and other bacterial infections. It is effective against a variety of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, providing a potent therapy for both mild and moderate infections.
