Benefits

  • Clavulanate protects amoxicillin from beta-lactamase, covering the resistant Haemophilus and Moraxella strains common in childhood ear and sinus infection.
  • The liquid form allows accurate weight-based dosing, which a fixed-strength tablet cannot.
  • A standard second-line choice in childhood otitis media where plain amoxicillin has failed.
  • The dry syrup format keeps the antibiotic stable until reconstitution, extending shelf life before use.
  • Flavoured suspension improves acceptance in children, which matters for course completion.
