About 

Augmentin 500 mg-125 mg tablet is an effective remedy for a variety of bacterial infections.

It consists of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid as its primary constituents.

Augmentin is a prescription medicine and is not available over the counter.

Uses

Augmentin 500 mg-125 mg tablet is used to treat bacterial infections.

These include bacterial infections of the sinuses, lungs, kidneys, gonads, bones, teeth, and joints.

A bacterial infection occurs when bacteria enter the body, grow in number, and cause a reaction in the body.

Working 

Augmentin 500 mg-125 mg tablet is effective due to the interaction of its two components.

Amoxicillin destroys the pathogens that cause infections. 

However, bacteria produce an enzyme (beta-lactamases) capable of destroying Amoxicillin.

This enzyme is inhibited by Clavulanic acid, allowing Amoxicillin to function efficiently.
