CLAVUNATE is an antibiotic used in the treatment of infections and works by killing the bacteria that cause the infection. It contains two active ingredients, a penicillin called amoxicillin (as amoxicillin trihydrate) and clavulanic acid (as potassium clavulanate), which functions by preventing amoxicillin from inactivating.
