How it works:
Advent 228.5 mg Dry Syrup has two active substances that function together:
Amoxicillin:
Amoxicillin, a type of penicillin antibiotic, prevents bacteria from forming cell walls, leading to their disintegration and eventual death.
Clavulanic Acid:
A beta-lactamase inhibitor that stops beta-lactamases, which are bacterial enzymes that can make amoxicillin less effective.
This makes sure that amoxicillin still works against germs that are resistant to it.
They work together to kill a wide range of bacteria, making them beneficial against many types of diseases.
