As a result, the bacterial cell wall weakens and breaks down, thus killing the bacteria.

Prevent infections after surgery. How it works (USA) Clavulanic acid belongs to a group of medicines called beta-lactamase inhibitors.It blocks the activity of a chemical (beta-lactamase), which is secreted by bacteria to ward off antibiotics such as amoxicillin, thus allowing the antibiotics to work against bacteria. It does not kill bacteria and is never used alone to treat infections. Common side effects Skin rash or itching, Indigestion, Vomiting, Diarrhea
