How Augmentin DDS Suspension 30ml works

Augmentin DDS Syrup works through a dual-action mechanism: Amoxicillin: A penicillin-class antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing cell wall formation, leading to bacterial destruction. Clavulanic Acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from being destroyed by bacterial enzymes, ensuring its effectiveness against resistant bacteria. This combination makes Augmentin DDS more effective than amoxicillin alone, especially for resistant infections.
