Clavam 375 Tablet is primarily used to manage bacterial infections. It is commonly used for infections in the ear, nose, throat, skin, bone, soft tissue, joints, urinary tract, and respiratory tract. It will be ineffective in the treatment of viral infections such as common cold or flu. This medication is a prescription medicine and cannot be purchased over the counter.
It is an antibiotic medication that combines two active ingredients, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin stops the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to cell death. Clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, prevents the inactivation of amoxicillin by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. This allows amoxicillin to kill the bacteria and treat the infection effectively.
Before starting the Clavam 375 Tablet, the doctor must know the patient's medical history, allergies, and how they have reacted to antibiotics. The doctor will decide how much medicine to give and how long to take it based on the patient's age, weight, the chance of side effects, and the specific infection. This helps ensure the medicine works well and is safe for the patient.
