Augmentin [Amoxicillin, Sodium Salt/Potassium Clavulanate 5:1], 25 Grams

Augmentin is a combination antibiotic that consists of two active ingredients: amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. Augmentin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic designed to combat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, is effective against a wide range of bacteria, while clavulanate potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances amoxicillin's activity by preventing bacterial resistance mechanisms. 

The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid is effective against a broader spectrum of bacteria compared to amoxicillin alone. The clavulanic acid component in Augmentin helps to inhibit bacterial enzymes that can potentially deactivate amoxicillin. The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in Augmentin provides a synergistic effect against bacteria.
