Koact 1000/200 Mg Injection 1 consists of two active components:

• Amoxicillin (1000 mg): This semisynthetic penicillin-type antibiotic inhibits the formation of bacterial cell walls. It deactivates proteins inside the bacterial cell wall that build cross-links between peptidoglycan chains, which is necessary for the strength and rigidity of bacterial cell walls. As a result of this interference, the bacterial cell wall weakens, leading to cell destruction.
• Clavulanic acid (200 mg): This component doesn't have significant antibacterial activity but plays a vital role in protecting amoxicillin from destruction by specific enzymes called beta-lactamases produced by certain bacteria. It extends the spectrum of amoxicillin’s activity to include many bacteria that are usually resistant to it and other similar antibiotics.
