How Does It Work?

• Polyclav 625 mg tablet acts by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of the bacteria, thus killing the bacteria responsible for infections.
• However, bacteria make the enzyme (beta-lactamases) which can destroy amoxicillin.
• Clavulanic acid inactivates this enzyme and hence helps amoxicillin to function optimally.
