Clavam 1.2 gm Injection

About Clavam Injection:

Clavam Injection is a combination of two antibacterial medicines, indicated for short-term treatment of various bacterial infections.

Each vial contains Amoxicillin Sodium equivalent to Amoxicillin 1000 mg and Potassium Clavulanate equivalent to Clavulanic Acid 200 mg.

Amoxicillin belongs to a class of antibacterial medicines. It prevents bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is required for the bacteria to grow and multiply.

Clavulanic acid belongs to a class of antibacterial medicines. It acts by inactivating some beta-lactamase enzymes that are produced by bacteria, thereby, preventing bacteria from destroying Amoxicillin.
