About Clavam 625

A penicillin-type antibiotic called Clavam 625 Tablet aids your body in battling bacterial infections.

It is used to treat infections of the skin, soft tissue, ear, nose, sinuses, urinary tract, and lungs (including Pneumonia). It does not work for viral diseases like the common cold.

The active salts in this medicine are Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid.

Uses

As mentioned, the combination of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid in Calvam 625 is used in treating bacterial infection.

Amoxycillin inhibits bacterial growth. Clavulanic acid helps to increase Amoxycillin's antibacterial activity. This hence reduces bacteria's resistance activity.

Infections caused by bacteria, a microbe that consists of just a single cell, are called bacterial infections. 

Bacteria can survive in various environments, including ones that are extremely hot or cold. 

Working

Two medications—Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid—are combined in the Clavam 625 Tablet. 

Antibiotic Amoxycillin is used to block the development of the bacterial protective layer, which is necessary for the survival of bacteria. 

A beta-lactamase inhibitor known as Clavulanic acid boosts Amoxycillin's antibacterial effectiveness. 

Together, they help in reducing the resistance of bacteria.

Dosage

Taking Clavam 625 Tablets with food is advised to reduce the possibility of experiencing stomach problems. 

As directed by your doctor's regimen, you should take it consistently at regular intervals. 

It will be easier to remember to take it if you take it simultaneously each day. 

The dosage will vary depending on the condition you are trying to treat, but you should always follow your doctor's instructions and take the entire course of antibiotics. 

Even when you feel better, keep taking it until you have completed the dose. If you stop taking medication too soon, some germs can survive, which might cause the infection to return or get worse.

Suppose you stop taking the medication too soon. In that case, some of the bacteria may be able to survive, and the infection may either return or become worse. 

In case of a missed dose, please take it as soon as you remember it. Take it only once if the time for the next dose is almost there. Abstain from doubling the dosage.

Do not overdose on this medicine, as it might cause adverse effects. In case of a missed dose, inform your doctor immediately.
