Briclav
Effective antibiotic for bacterial infections
Briclav is a combination antibiotic containing Amoxycillin and Potassium Clavulanate, used to treat various bacterial infections.
Briclav is a potent antibiotic combining Amoxycillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, with Potassium Clavulanate, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination enhances the effectiveness of Amoxycillin against bacteria that are resistant to it alone, making Briclav a versatile treatment for a range of bacterial infections.
