Description

Amclav DS 312.50mg/5ml Suspension contains amoxicillin with clavulanic acid and is made by Getz Pharma. Amoxicillin kills bacteria by breaking down their cell walls, and clavulanic acid stops certain bacteria from inactivating amoxicillin. Together they work against a wider range of infections than amoxicillin alone. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
