How it works

MOXITHIX-CV(200/28.5 mg) Dry Syrup is a combination of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid.

Amoxycillin binds to certain specific receptors and prevents the formation of a necessary component for the cell wall building process.

Clavulanic acid is effective against a specific species of bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotic medicines. Thus, the combination becomes effective against a wide range of bacteria.
