Amoxyclav 1000 Tablet 10 contains two active components:

• Amoxicillin (875 mg): As a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic, amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It does so by binding to and deactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) found on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall, thus blocking cell wall biosynthesis and leading to cell lysis and death.

• Potassium clavulanate (125 mg): This component acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It binds irreversibly to bacterial beta-lactamases - enzymes that inactivate penicillins and cephalosporins. By doing this, potassium clavulanate prevents these beta-lactamases from breaking down amoxicillin, thus restoring its activity against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.
