CLAVULIN 1G

What is Clavulin 1G used for?

Clavulin 1G is an antibiotic that helps your body fight infections caused by bacteria. It does not work on viruses like the flu or the common cold. Doctors usually prescribe it when you have moderate to severe infections, especially if other antibiotics didn’t work. It’s commonly used for:

Respiratory infections like bronchitis or pneumonia
Ear and sinus infections
Skin infections
Urinary tract infections
Dental infections

Ingredients in Clavulin 1G

Clavulin 1G contains two main ingredients:

Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid

Together, these two ingredients form a powerful combination that fights tough infections better than amoxicillin alone.

How Does Clavulin 1G Work?

Amoxicillin works by breaking down the cell walls of bacteria, which kills them. Some bacteria try to protect themselves by producing enzymes called beta-lactamases, which block the antibiotic. Clavulanic acid stops these enzymes, allowing amoxicillin to do its job properly. This teamwork helps clear infections faster and more effectively.

Dosage and How to Take Clavulin 1G

Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Clavulin 1G usually comes in tablet or powder form and is taken 1 to 2 times a day, depending on the infection.
It should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset.
Drink plenty of water and try to take it at the same time each day to keep a steady level in your system.
Do not skip doses and always finish the entire course, even if you start feeling better.

How Quickly Does Clavulin 1G Work?

People start to feel better within 2 to 3 days of starting Clavulin 1G. However, that doesn’t mean the infection is completely gone. You must complete the full course as prescribed to avoid the bacteria coming back or becoming resistant.
