COMPOSITION:
Amoxycillin (1000mg) + Clavulanic Acid (200mg)DESCRIPTION:
Lemna-C Injection is a powerful antibiotic combination used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains Amoxycillin (1000mg), a penicillin-class antibiotic, and Clavulanic Acid (200mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The combination enhances the effectiveness of Amoxycillin by protecting it from degradation by bacterial enzymes, making it effective against bacteria that may be resistant to other antibiotics.

- Respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

How Lemna-C Injection works
Lemna-C Injection works by combining Amoxycillin, which disrupts the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, with Clavulanic Acid, which inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by some bacteria. These enzymes can destroy Amoxycillin, so Clavulanic Acid protects it, allowing the antibiotic to be effective against a wider range of bacterial infections, including those that produce beta-lactamase.
