Amoxicillin Trihydrate 250mg + Potassium Clavulanate 125mg is a combination medication commonly known as co-amoxiclav or augmentin. Here’s a breakdown of each component:

Amoxicillin Trihydrate: Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial cell death. Amoxicillin is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Potassium Clavulanate: Potassium clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria that can inactivate certain antibiotics, including amoxicillin. Clavulanate inhibits these enzymes, thereby enhancing the activity of amoxicillin against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria and expanding its spectrum of activity.
