Augmentin and its Uses
Generic Augmentin is an antibiotic that is a combination of a penicillin (amoxicillin) and a substance called Clavulanic acid.

Generic Augmentin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin.

Clavulanic acid is an antibiotic used for its ability to enhance the effectiveness of other antibiotics, such as the penicillins.

The addition of Clavulanic acid to amoxicillin makes co-amoxiclav active against bacterial infections, which have become resistant to amoxicillin.

Working Mechanism of Augmentin
Generic Augmentin kills bacteria, by interfering with their ability to form cell walls. The bacteria therefore break up and die.

Clavulanic Acid achieves this by blocking the chemical defences some bacteria have against some penicillins, known as beta-lactamase.
