Curam 625mg Tablet

How Curam 625mg Tablet works

Curam 625mg Tablet works through the combined action of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria by disrupting their cell wall synthesis. However, some bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that makes them resistant to Amoxicillin. Clavulanic acid inhibits this enzyme, allowing Amoxicillin to work more effectively against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Together, they provide a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity.
