Clacido

Amoxicillin+Clavulanic Acid

Description
Clacido® is an antibacterial combination consisting of the antibiotic Amoxicillin and the Beta-lactamase inhibitor Clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin has a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive & gram-negative microorganisms but it is susceptible to degradation by beta-lactamases and therefore the spectrum of activity does not include microorganisms, which produce these enzymes. Clavulanic acid possesses the ability to inactivate a wide range of beta-lactamase enzymes commonly found in microorganisms resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins. Thus Clavulanic acid in Clacido® protects Amoxicillin from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes and effectively extends the antibiotic spectrum to embrace a wide range of microorganisms.
