Aquaclav 375mg Tablet is an antibiotic that contains amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium as the active ingredients.
- Amoxicillin: Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin group. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with their cell wall synthesis. It is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.
- Clavulanic Acid: Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It is frequently combined with amoxicillin to enhance its effectiveness. Beta-lactamase enzymes produced by some bacteria can degrade antibiotics like amoxicillin, rendering them ineffective. Clavulanic acid prevents this enzymatic destruction, allowing amoxicillin to work against a broader spectrum of susceptible bacterial infections.
Aquaclav is commonly used to treat various infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including:
- Acute otitis media: Caused by H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis.
- Sinusitis: Due to H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis.
- Lower respiratory tract infections: Caused by Haemophilus influenzae, S. aureus, Klebsiella species, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
- Skin and skin structure infections: Caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella species.
- Urinary tract infections: Due to E. coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, S. marcescens, or S. aureus.
- Gynecologic infections: Caused by various bacteria.
- Septicemia: Associated with different bacterial species.
- Bone and joint infections: Due to S. aureus.
