Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, also known as co-amoxiclav, is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number ofbacterial infections. It is a combination consisting of amoxicillin, a β-lactam antibiotic, and potassium clavulanate, a β-lactamase inhibitor. It is specifically used for otitis media, strep throat, pneumonia, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, animal bites, and tuberculosis.

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is widely used to treat or prevent many infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as:

• urinary tract infections
• respiratory tract infections
• skin and soft tissue infections
• sinus infections
• cat scratches
• infections caused by the bacterial flora of the mouth, such as:
  • dental infections
  • infected animal bites
  • infected human bites (including uncomplicated "clenched-fist" or "reverse-bite" injuries)

This combination results in an antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against amoxicillin-resistant bacteria that produce β-lactamase.
