Gloclav 1000Mg 14Tab

Gloclav is a medication that contains a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This medication belongs to the antibiotic class and works by eliminating the bacteria causing the infection.

Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the construction of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial death. Meanwhile, Clavulanic Acid prevents beta-lactamase enzymes produced by some bacteria, enhancing the effectiveness of Amoxicillin against resistant bacteria. This combination makes Gloclav an effective option for treating infections such as otitis media, sinusitis, and respiratory tract infections.
