• The Clavam 625 mg tablet contains a mixture of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. 
• Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin. It shows the medical action by attacking the cell wall of infectious bacteria. Due to this, the cell wall becomes weak, and the cell finally collapses. 
• Bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin can produce beta-lactamases that are capable of attacking amoxicillin. Hence, clavulanic acid was added.
• Clavulanic acid has a similar structure of penicillin. Clavulanic acid inhibits the inactivation of amoxicillin due to the attack of beta-lactamase by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes. 
• These enzymes are produced by infectious bacteria which are resistant to amoxicillin. Clavulanic acid alone does not have therapeutic activity. It can exert action only in combination with amoxicillin.
