The Clavam 625 mg tablet contains a mixture of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin. It shows the medical action by attacking the cell wall of infectious bacteria. Due to this, the cell wall becomes weak, and the cell finally collapses.
Bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin can produce beta-lactamases that are capable of attacking amoxicillin. Hence, clavulanic acid was added.
Clavulanic acid has a similar structure of penicillin. Clavulanic acid inhibits the inactivation of amoxicillin due to the attack of beta-lactamase by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes.
These enzymes are produced by infectious bacteria which are resistant to amoxicillin. Clavulanic acid alone does not have therapeutic activity. It can exert action only in combination with amoxicillin.
