Amoxicillin:Potassium Clavulanate (2:1) is a combination of Amoxicillin (one part) and Potassium Clavulanate (Clavulanic Acid)(two parts) which prevents the degradation of Amoxicillin by β-lactamase enzymes and allows for greater efficacy against β-lactam resistant strains.
Amoxicillin is an extended-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic similar in structure to Ampicillin. Resistance to Amoxicillin is due to β-lactamase enzymes found in resistant strains.
Potassium Clavulanate, produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus, is a β-lactamase inhibitor which can irreversibly inactivate β-lactamase enzymes.
Amoxicillin:Potassium Clavulanate (2:1) is freely soluble in water.
