s and dental. It is a combination medicine containing amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Polyclav 625 is a broad-spectrum antibiotic medicine meaning it is effective in killing a wide range of infection-causing bacteria.

Do not stop taking the Polyclav 625 mg tablet, as it may result in treatment failure and reoccurrence of the infection, thus you should always complete the course of the treatment. You may experience diarrhoea as the most common side effect after taking this medicine. However, not everyone experiences this side effect. Reach out to your doctor if diarrhoea persists or worsens.
