How it works:
Amoxicillin stops the growth of germs by stopping the building of cell walls.
Clavulanic acid stops beta-lactamases, which are bacterial enzymes that break down amoxicillin.
When used together, they make a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works against both sensitive and resistant bacteria.
Faq for medicine:
1. What is Megamox CV 375 used for?

Infections of the lungs, such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia
Otitis media, or ear infections
Infections of the urinary tract (UTIs)
Infections affecting the skin and soft tissue
Infections in the teeth and bones
2. What does "CV" stand for?
Clavulanic acid, or "CV," shields amoxicillin from being broken down by bacteria that are resistant to it. This makes the antibiotic work better.
3. Is it okay to take Megamox CV on an empty stomach?
No. To help your body absorb it better and avoid stomach distress, always take it after meals.
4. Can I stop taking it when I feel better?
No. Finish the whole course as directed to avoid getting sick again or developing antibiotic resistance.

Yes, there can be mild diarrhea. Drink fluids and let your doctor know if it gets worse or lasts a long time.
6. Can I take ibuprofen or paracetamol with Megamox CV?
Yes, it is okay to take for pain or fever unless your doctor tells you not to.
