Infections of the respiratory tract, such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia
Infections of the ear, nose, and throat (tonsillitis, otitis media, sinusitis)
Infections of the urinary tract (UTIs)
Infections affecting the skin and soft tissues Infections of the bones and joints
Wounds that are infected or bites from animals
It helps against bacteria that generate β-lactamase enzymes, which would typically stop amoxicillin from working.
Pregnancy interaction:
When a doctor prescribes Fightox 250mg/125mg Tablet, it is usually safe to take during pregnancy.
Studies demonstrate that there is not a big danger of birth abnormalities or problems during pregnancy.
The FDA puts it under Pregnancy Category B, which means there is no established harm to humans.
But it should only be used if it is really necessary, because infections that aren't treated can be more dangerous for both the mother and the baby.
The doctor carefully decides when to use it in certain instances, as when the membranes break too early.
Nursing:
Safe while nursing.
Small amounts get into breast milk, but they don't hurt babies.
Watch the baby for a minor rash, diarrhea, or oral thrush.
Expert advice:

Finish the whole course, even if you feel better early. Stopping could make the infection come back or make the antibiotics less effective.

How it works:
Amoxicillin kills bacteria by stopping them from making their cell wall.
Clavulanic Acid stops the bacterial enzyme (β-lactamase) from breaking down amoxicillin, which makes it work better.
When used together, they widen the range of antibiotics and kill germs that are resistant to them.
