What does it do?

Amoxicillin·Clavulanate Potassium is a combination of amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, and clavulanate potassium, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination is used to treat infections caused by various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Amoxicillin kills bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of their cell walls. Clavulanate potassium enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin by inhibiting the enzyme beta-lactamase, which bacteria use to break down amoxicillin.
