Co-amoxiclav, also known as amoxicillin-clavulanate, is a combination antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It combines amoxicillin, a penicillin antibiotic, with clavulanic acid, which inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes that can make bacteria resistant to antibiotics. This combination enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin against a broader range of bacteria, making it useful for conditions such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It is typically prescribed when infections are suspected to be caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
