How it works:
Novaclav 625 Tablet is an antibiotic that works in more than one way:
Amoxicillin is a type of penicillin antibiotic that kills bacteria by stopping them from making their protective cell walls.
Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that stops the bacteria from making enzymes that make antibiotics less effective. This makes Amoxicillin work better.
Together, they operate together to get rid of a lot of different bacterial infections.
