Get an amoxicillin and clavulanate (Augmentin) online prescriptions for bacterial infections

The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate (clavulanic acid) is prescribed to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body. These two drugs are usually synthesized into a single medication to ensure they are taken together. Amoxicillin and clavulanate are only used to treat bacterial infections. They are ineffective against infections caused by viruses, fungi, and other pathogens.

Amoxicillin and clavulanate are available as a generic combination medicine or under various brand names. This combination medication is only available via prescription. This means a written prescription from a licensed health care provider is required before purchase.

Amoxicillin and clavulanate treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body. This includes the ears, the lungs, the sinuses, the skin, and the urinary tract.

It is important to only use antibiotics like amoxicillin and clavulanate when prescribed, as taking antibiotics when they are not needed can increase your chance of contracting an antibiotic-resistant infection. Remember that antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections and will not work against viral infections like the common cold or flu.

The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate works together to treat bacterial infections. Amoxicillin belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics and interferes with the bacteria's ability to build their cell walls. Amoxicillin disrupts this process by inhibiting bacterial cell wall creation, causing the walls to weaken and eventually break. As a result, the bacteria cannot maintain their integrity, leading to their destruction and elimination by the body's immune system.

Clavulanate is a type of medication called a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Many bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can break down and inactivate antibiotics like amoxicillin, making them less effective. Clavulanate works by inhibiting these beta-lactamase enzymes, preventing them from destroying amoxicillin. This combination allows amoxicillin to continue its action against bacterial cell walls, making it more effective.
