What would a doctor give you if you are allergic to penicillin?
Penicillin is a beta-lactam. Although beta-lactam antibiotics are wide-spectrum antibiotics, meaning they can be effective against a wide array of infections, there are other options in cases where it is not possible to administer beta-lactams. This is information I have gathered from other sources below.
What is a role of beta lactamase inhibitor?
Some bacteria produce beta lactamase enzyme, this enzyme will break the beta lactam ring structure of certain antibiotics (penicillin, cephalexin for example) rendering them ineffective against the infection. If you add a beta lactamase inhibitor to a beta lactam antibiotic (i.e clavulanaic acid added to amoxicillin) it decreases the potential of the bacteria to inactivate the antibiotic.
