Clavam 625 Tablet

Clavam 625 Tablet is a combination antibiotic containing Amoxycillin (500mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125mg). It is prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, ear, and dental structures. Amoxycillin fights bacteria by inhibiting their cell wall formation, while Clavulanic Acid prevents bacterial resistance, making the antibiotic more effective. Clavam 625 is commonly recommended when other antibiotics may not work due to resistance, offering a reliable solution for stubborn infections when taken as prescribed.
