What does it do?

Dilute Potassium Clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor used in conjunction with beta-lactam antibiotics. This ingredient blocks the enzymes of bacteria with antibiotic resistance, enhancing the effectiveness of the antibiotics. It is mainly used in combination with penicillin-type antibiotics.

Dilute Potassium Clavulanate inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase produced by bacteria. This enzyme breaks down antibiotics and lowers their effectiveness; by blocking it, the antibiotic can more effectively kill bacteria.
