What does it do?

Clofazimine is a beta-lactamase inhibitor used in conjunction with beta-lactam antibiotics. This ingredient is included in medications to enhance effectiveness against bacteria that exhibit antibiotic resistance. It is primarily used in the treatment of infections in combination with amoxicillin.

Clofazimine inhibits the beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria, protecting antibiotics from being destroyed. As a result, beta-lactam antibiotics like amoxicillin can effectively target the bacteria. Consequently, the treatment efficacy against resistant strains is improved.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Clofazimine is similar to other beta-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid or tazobactam, but it differs in terms of drug absorption and stability. Specifically, clofofazine is improved in absorption as a clofofazine ester, making it suitable for oral formulations. Due to these properties, it is primarily used in specific antibiotic combinations.
