Zylopen 250 mg/125 mg is a combination antibiotic medication containing amoxicillin (250 mg) and clavulanic acid (125 mg). Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria, while clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps prevent certain bacteria from becoming resistant to amoxicillin. This combination enhances the effectiveness of the antibiotic against a broader range of bacterial infections. Zylopen is commonly prescribed to treat respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, sinusitis, and other conditions caused by susceptible bacteria. It is typically administered orally and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, often with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
