Amoxycillin 500 mg + Potassium Clavulanate 125 mg + Lactic acid Bacillus
(HILLCLAV-625 LB) Amoxicillin 500 mg + Potassium Clavulanate 125 mg + Lactic Acid Bacillus is a combination medication commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. Each component of this formulation serves a specific purpose in enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Components and Mechanism of Action of HILLCLAV-625 LB
- Amoxicillin (500 mg):
- Type: Penicillin antibiotic.
- Mechanism Amoxicillin works on the mechanism of inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, resulting in cell lysis and death. It is active against all of the following, both some gram-negative and a wide variety of gram-positive bacteria.
- Uses: Primarily, infections such as otitis media, skin infections, respiratory tract infections, and urinary tract infections are used for treatment.
- Potassium Clavulanate (125 mg):
- Type: beta-lactamase inhibitor.
- Mechanism Clavulanate acts by inhibiting the production of some bacteria’s beta-lactamase enzyme that, therefore, can inactivate amoxicillin. It then becomes possible to target the bacteria that would otherwise have developed resistance to amoxicillin.
- Uses It has the effect of increasing the antibacterial action of amoxicillin on beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
- Lactic Acid Bacillus:
- Type: Probiotic.
- Mechanism: During antibiotic therapy, the natural intestinal flora may be upset. Lactic acid bacillus can restore and help maintain this balance. This helps enhance gut health by preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
- Uses: It is used in combination with antibiotics as adjuncts to minimize side effects that occur due to the disruption of normal intestinal flora.
