Lactoclav DS Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in the body. It contains a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Composition
Amoxicillin: A penicillin-type antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting their cell wall synthesis.
Clavulanic acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from destroying amoxicillin, making the antibiotic more effective against resistant bacteria.
Uses
Treats middle ear infections, sinus infections, respiratory tract infections (like bronchitis, pneumonia), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections.
Also used for dental infections, bone and joint infections, genital tract infections, abdominal infections, and infections related to septic abortion.
Effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, which can make some antibiotics ineffective.
How it Works
Amoxicillin works by killing bacteria, while clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that could destroy it, ensuring effective treatment against resistant strains.
