How Augmentin BD Tablets 1000mg Work

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that kills bacteria by interfering with their cell wall formation. However, some bacteria produce enzymes (beta-lactamases) that can deactivate amoxicillin. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks these enzymes, ensuring amoxicillin remains effective. Together, they deliver a strong, broad-spectrum antibacterial action, reducing resistance and improving treatment outcomes.
