Clavam 375 Tablet

About Clavam 375 Tablet

Clavam 375 Tablet is an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections affecting areas such as the ear, nose, throat, skin, bones, soft tissues, joints, urinary tract, and respiratory system. Bacterial infections happen when harmful bacteria invade the body and multiply, causing illness.

This tablet contains a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin works by stopping the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacteria to survive, thereby killing them. Clavulanic acid helps prevent bacteria from resisting Amoxicillin by blocking enzymes that break down the antibiotic. Together, these components make Clavam 375 Tablet effective in fighting bacterial infections.

The prescribed dose and duration depend on the specific infection and its severity. Common side effects may include skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and gas. These usually resolve on their own, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Before using Clavam 375 Tablet, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any existing health conditions. The medication may cause dizziness, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment to minimize side effects.

Medicinal Benefits

Clavam 375 Tablet combines Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid, both of which belong to the antibiotic class. Amoxicillin kills bacteria by preventing the formation of their protective cell walls, while Clavulanic acid helps overcome bacterial resistance, making the treatment more effective. It works against a broad range of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative types.

Mechanism of Action

Amoxicillin disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid enhances this effect by inhibiting enzymes that some bacteria produce to resist Amoxicillin, ensuring better treatment outcomes.
