Megamentin-625 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Amoxicillin (500 mg): This penicillin-type antibiotic works by inhibiting enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. By binding to and inactivating these enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins, it disrupts cell wall formation which leads to the destruction of the bacterial cells.

• Clavulanic Acid (125 mg): This component acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Certain bacteria produce these beta-lactamases that can inactivate amoxicillin. Clavulanic Acid binds to these enzymes and inhibits them. This ensures that amoxicillin remains active against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant to it.

• Keep your Megamentin-625 Tablet at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct light and moisture.

• Always ensure the container is tightly sealed to shield it from air exposure.

• Keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• If you have a respiratory infection, try to avoid smoking or being around second-hand smoke as this can aggravate your condition. Breathing clean air will help manage your symptoms better.

• For those with urinary tract infections, increase your water intake. Drinking plenty of fluids can help flush bacteria out of your system, aiding in managing the infection.
