DESCRIPTION 
Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid 875 mg /125 mg is a combination product containing the semi-synthetic 
antibiotic, amoxycillin (as the trihydrate) and the 
β-lactamase inhibitor, potassium clavulanate (the 
potassium salt of clavulanic acid). 

Amoxycillin is 
susceptible to hydrolysis by β-lactamases.
 Clavulanic acid is produced by the fermentation 
of _Streptomyces clavuligerus_.  It is an irreversible inhibitor 
of many β-lactamase enzymes except type 1 
(Richmond).  
It is a β-lactam compound with only weak antibacterial
activity.
