Used primarily in combination with antibiotics like amoxicillin to enhance their effectiveness. It works by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria, which otherwise would render the antibiotics ineffective. This combination is widely used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sinusitis. It is particularly effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to standard antibiotics. The formulation is commonly available in oral tablets, suspensions, and injectable forms, making it versatile for different patient needs. Its use has significantly improved the outcomes of infections caused by resistant bacterial strains.
