PENCLAV 625MG TABLET belongs to a group of antibiotics known as penicillin antibiotics. It is generally prescribed to prevent middle ear and sinus infections, throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft tissue infections, dental infections, and joint and bone infections.
PENCLAV 625MG TABLET consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. PENCLAV 625MG TABLET does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.
The dose of PENCLAV 625MG TABLET can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). The common side effects of PENCLAV 625MG TABLET include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.
Before starting PENCLAV 625MG TABLET, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take PENCLAV 625MG TABLET on your own as self-medication since it may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. PENCLAV 625MG TABLET is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Medicinal Benefits
PENCLAV 625MG TABLET is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that covers a very wide range of bacterial infections. PENCLAV 625MG TABLET has Clavulanic acid, which protects amoxycillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme, thus increasing its efficacy. Besides this, it helps overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that is caused by the enzyme beta-lactamase. This makes the drug effective in multiple infections like ear infections (acute otitis media), bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc.
