2. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoxicillin/clavulanic_acid

   Amoxicillin is an antibiotic while clavulanic acid is a non-antibiotic β-lactamase inhibitor which prevents metabolism of amoxicillin by certain bacteria. In addition to its β-lactamase inhibition, clavulanic acid shows central nervous system actions and effects and has been studied in the potential treatment of various psychiatric and ...

3. β-Lactam antibiotic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Lactam_antibiotic

   For example, Augmentin (FGP) is made of amoxicillin (a β-lactam antibiotic) and clavulanic acid (a β-lactamase inhibitor). The clavulanic acid is designed to overwhelm all β-lactamase enzymes, and effectively serve as an antagonist so that the amoxicillin is not affected by the β-lactamase enzymes. Another β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor ...

   Amoxicillin–clavulanic acid is a first-line treatment for many types of infections, including sinus infections, and urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis. This is, in part, because of its efficacy against gram-negative bacteria which tend to be more difficult to control than gram-positive bacteria with chemotherapeutic antibiotics.

   Clavulanic acid is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and 5S clavams may have anti-fungal properties. They are similar to penams, but with an oxygen substituted for the sulfur. [3] Thus, they are also known as oxapenams. An example is clavulanic acid, [4] from which this compound class receives its name. Clavulanic acid, a type of clavam, has ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoxicillin

   Amoxicillin (α-amino-p-hydroxybenzyl penicillin) is a semisynthetic derivative of penicillin with a structure similar to ampicillin but with better absorption when taken by mouth, thus yielding higher concentrations in blood and in urine. [58] Amoxicillin diffuses easily into tissues and body fluids.
