Best Answer

If you are wondering what is the name of a drug that contains amoxicillin - one would be Augmentin. This is made of amoxicillin and clavulanate. Clavulanate is what is referred to as a 'beta lactamase inhibitor' and this allows amoxicillin to be effective against drug-resistant bacteria that produce beta lactamase.

Words ending in -ase are generally enzymes that are going to break something down. The penicillin family of antibiotics are called 'beta lactams' due to their structure. Some bacteria have developed beta lactamase in order to break down these antibiotics, thereby becoming a drug-resistant bacteria.
