Clavam 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT

Clavam 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT is a prescription antibiotic that contains amoxicillin 200 mg plus clavulanic acid 28.5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the penicillin-type antibiotic group and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. This tablet format is designed to be dissolved or taken as directed by a doctor, making it useful when an antibiotic combination is needed in a lower-strength tablet form.

How it works: Amoxicillin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the building of their cell walls, which makes the bacteria break apart. Clavulanic acid helps protect amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that would otherwise destroy it, so the tablet can work against more infection-causing bacteria.

Clavam 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT is a lower-strength amoxicillin-clavulanate tablet, so it may be chosen for patients who need a smaller antibiotic dose or a more carefully adjusted regimen. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this product should be understood as one specific tablet option within the amoxicillin + clavulanic acid family, and the doctor decides whether it fits the infection and the patient’s age, weight, and kidney function.
