What are the Uses of Augmentin 875 Mg 125 Mg?
Augmentin 875 Mg 125 Mg is used to treat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is a penicillin that works by stopping enzymes from making a key part of the bacterial cell wall. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactam that is similar to penicillin in structure and works by stopping an enzyme called beta-lactamase from stopping amoxicillin from working.
Augmentin is a combination antibiotic medication that contains two active ingredients: amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. It is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and dental infections. The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid helps to improve the effectiveness of the medication, as clavulanic acid helps to prevent the breakdown of amoxicillin by certain bacteria, which allows the medication to work more effectively against a wider range of bacterial infections. However, it's important to note that antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by a doctor and taken exactly as directed, as overuse and misuse of antibiotics can lead to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other life-threatening illnesses.
