How Jitoamox CV 625 Tablet Works:

Jitoamox CV 625 Tablet contains two active ingredients, Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, which work together to effectively treat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming a protective cell wall, causing the bacteria to die. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks the action of beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by certain bacteria to resist antibiotics. By preventing this enzyme from inactivating amoxicillin, clavulanic acid enhances its antibacterial activity and broadens its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.
