AUGMENTIN 625MG DUO TABS

Description

Augmentin 625mg Duo Tablet is a powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotic composed of:

• Amoxicillin (500 mg) – a penicillin-class antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming cell walls.

• Clavulanic Acid (125 mg) – a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks bacterial enzymes that cause antibiotic resistance, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of amoxicillin.

Together, these two agents combat infections more effectively than amoxicillin alone.
