This is an automatically translated article.

1. What are the effects of claminate 625mg?

The main ingredients of Claminat 625 mg are Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. Amoxicillin is a β-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Amoxicillin has a broad bactericidal spectrum against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, Amoxicillin is easily destroyed by β-lactamase enzymes, so it is not effective against bacteria that produce these enzymes.
Clavulanic acid has the ability to inhibit the enzyme β-lactamase, which prevents Amoxicillin from being destroyed by β-lactamase, and at the same time expands the antibacterial spectrum of Amoxicillin.
