Augmentin Duo 250/125 MG Tablet 10 works in the human body in the following ways:

• Amoxicillin (250 mg): It works by inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), required for the synthesis of peptidoglycans (the main component of bacterial cell walls). In the absence of a rigid cell wall, the bacterial cells undergo lysis, causing cell death.

• Clavulanic acid (125 mg): This component enhances amoxicillin’s effectiveness by binding to beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain resistant bacteria that would otherwise neutralise amoxicillin.

• Keep Augmentin Duo 250/125 MG Tablet 10 in a tightly closed container.

• Store the medicine at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Avoid exposure to light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to use the medicine before the expiry date printed on the pack.

• Ensure you stay well-hydrated. An ample intake of fluids aids in flushing out bacteria from your system and promotes recovery.

• To prevent the spread of infection, maintain good hygiene practices such as regular handwashing, especially before meals and after using the toilet.
