Description

Augmentin 156.25/5ml Suspension contains amoxicillin with clavulanic acid and is made by GlaxoSmithKline. 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.
