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 ...
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 ...
The side effects of penicillin are bodily responses to penicillin and closely related antibiotics that do not relate directly to its effect on bacteria. A side effect is an effect that is not intended with normal dosing. [1] Some of these reactions are visible and some occur in the body's organs or blood.

Common adverse effects include nausea and rash. [9] It may also increase the risk of yeast infections and, when used in combination with clavulanic acid, diarrhea. [11] It should not be used in those who are allergic to penicillin. [9] While usable in those with kidney problems, the dose may need to be decreased. [9]
I'll therefore revert back, but add the details of the forms used to Amoxicillin, Co-amoxiclav, Clavulanic acid and Potassium Clavulanate (which incidentally is wrong in its specification of only being mixed with the trihydrate form of Amoxicillin)David Ruben Talk 00:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
