How it works
Amoxycillin binds to certain specific receptors and prevents the formation of a necessary component for cell wall building process. Clavulanic acid is effective against a specific species of bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotic medicines. Lactic acid bacillus helps in the restoration of body-friendly micro-organisms (intestinal flora) in the intestines. Thus, the combination becomes effective against an extended range of bacteria.
