Clavam 625 Tablet

Product Introduction

Clavam 625 Tablet is a widely prescribed antibiotic medication that combines Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic, while Clavulanic Acid helps prevent bacterial resistance to Amoxicillin. This combination is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, making it a versatile choice in treating various bacterial infections.

Clavam 625 Tablet is typically available in the form of film-coated tablets, each containing 500 mg of Amoxicillin and 125 mg of Clavulanic Acid. It is commonly used in both hospital and outpatient settings due to its efficacy and relatively low incidence of side effects compared to other antibiotics.

Uses of Clavam 625 Tablet

Clavam 625 Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of several bacterial infections, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
