A combination antibacterial medication consisting of amoxicillin, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic, and a beta-lactamase inhibitor (commonly clavulanic acid), which extends the spectrum of amoxicillin by inhibiting bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes. It is approved and widely used today for the treatment of infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and others caused by susceptible bacteria.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters in healthy adult volunteers after a single oral administration of amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid.
