Amoxicillin is an antibiotic medicine, belongs to the beta-lactam class of medication, that stops the growth of infections causing bacteria by preventing them from forming their protective outer layer. While Clavulanic acid belongs to the class of medicines called ‘beta-lactamase inhibitors’ that helps amoxicillin work better.

Beta-lactamase can break down amoxicillin, making it ineffective, thereby allowing amoxicillin to work properly.
