Augmentin DDS Suspension  Introduction

Augmentin DDS Suspension is intended for pediatric use only and is prescribed to treat infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria. It can kill bacteria that are resistant to other therapies and help treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.

How Augmentin DDS Suspension Works: A Closer Look

This potent medication combines two powerful ingredients: Amoxycillin-400MG/5ML + Clavulanic Acid-57MG/5ML. Amoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell walls and causing damage to the existing cell walls. This leads to the death of the bacteria and helps stop the spread of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid helps amoxicillin work better by preventing bacteria from breaking it down.
