Description
Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid Oral Suspension is a combination antibiotic from the penicillin group used to treat a range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial growth. This medication is effective only against bacterial infections and will not treat viral illnesses like the flu or the common cold. Misusing antibiotics when they are unnecessary can lead to reduced effectiveness in the future.
This oral suspension is commonly prescribed for bacterial infections affecting the ear, nose, throat, respiratory system, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly effective against bacteria resistant to other treatments and can also help manage tuberculosis that has not responded to conventional therapies.
Benefits Of Vexillin-CV (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid Oral Suspension)
In multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, the causative bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase. This enzyme breaks down the antibiotics and makes them ineffective. As a result, the bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic being used for treatment. Vexillin-CV Oral Suspension comprises two active ingredients, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. While clavulanic acid stops the enzyme from rendering amoxycillin ineffective, amoxycillin works towards killing the tuberculosis-causing bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective treatment for resistant tuberculosis.
Vexillin-CV Oral Suspension contains two different medicines, Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause infections. Amoxycillin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Amoxycillin against bacteria.
This combination medicine can be used to treat many different bacterial infections such as ear, sinus, throat, lung, urinary tract, skin, teeth, joints, and bones. It usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.
