How it Works

Xinoclav DDS dry syrup is a combination antibiotic. It works by combining two complementary actions to effectively treat bacterial infections. Amoxycillin interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for the survival of bacteria, leading to their destruction. However, some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can inactivate amoxycillin. Clavulanic acid blocks these enzymes, protecting amoxycillin from being broken down and allowing it to work effectively against resistant bacteria. Together, this combination provides broader antibacterial coverage and helps clear infections more reliably.
