How it works:
Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid are both in Novamox CV Forte Syrup. They work together to kill bacteria.
Amoxicillin kills bacteria by preventing them from forming their cell walls, which weakens the bacteria and ultimately leads to their death.
Clavulanic acid stops bacterial enzymes called beta-lactamases from breaking down amoxicillin. This makes amoxicillin work against bacteria that are resistant to it.
When used together, they kill a wide range of germs that cause diseases.
