WHAT AMOXICILLIN/CLAVULANIC ACID KRKA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid Krka is an antibiotic and works by killing
bacteria that cause infections. It
contains two different active ingredients called amoxicillin and
clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin belongs
to a group of medicines called “penicillins” that can sometimes be
stopped from working (made
inactive). The other active component (clavulanic acid) stops this
from happening.
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid Krka is used in adults and children to
treat the following infections:
-
middle ear and sinus infections
-
respiratory tract infections
-
urinary tract infections
-
skin and soft tissue infections including dental infections
-
bone and joint infections.
