As Bacteria Get Tougher

minoclav-375

•  Clavulanic acid is a potent inhibitor of B-lactamase but shows minimal antibacterial action.
•  Clavulanic acid prevents amoxicillin from being degraded by B-lactamase thus extended its spectrum of activity against organisms which would normally resistant to amoxicillin alone.
• Shows good oral absorption & broad spectrum activity.
•  Cover broader range of organisms in the treatment of facial and periorbital cellulitis than flucloxacillin.
• Shows good kidney penetration in treatment of acute pyelonephritis.
•  Provides more than 70% cure rates in amoxicillin resistant bacteria in UTI.
