Amoxicillin Clavulanate Oral Suspension 400 mg/57 mg per 5 mL – 50 mL - Bottle

Amoxicillin Clavulanate Oral Suspension 400 mg/57 mg per 5 mL is a prescription combination antibiotic that may be prescribed by veterinarians for susceptible bacterial infections.

How It Works

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-class antibacterial medication that works against susceptible bacteria by interfering with bacterial cell wall formation.

Clavulanate potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It helps protect amoxicillin from degradation by certain beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria, extending the antibacterial activity of the combination.
