Claminat medicine 250mg / 31.25mg is produced in the form of powder packaging, the main ingredients in each package include:
Amoxicillin 250 mg Clavulanic acid 31.25 mg Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic beta-type antibiotic - lactams have a broad bactericidal spectrum against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. But the active ingredient Amoxicillin is easily destroyed by beta-lactamase enzymes, so it has no effect on strains of bacteria that produce these enzymes.
And ClavuLanic Acid has beta - lactam structure similar to Penicillin, capable of inhibiting beta - lactamase enzymes produced by most Gram-negative bacteria and Staphylococcus. In particular, clavulanic acid has a strong inhibitory effect on plasmid-transmitted beta-lactamase enzymes that cause resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins.
The combination of ClavuIanic acid and Amoxicillin in Klamentin 875/125 prevents Amoxicillin from being destroyed by beta-lactamases, and at the same time effectively expands the antibacterial spectrum of Amoxicillin against many types of bacteria normally resistant to Amoxicillin, other penicillins and cephalosporins.
