Amoxyclav 625mg Tablet contains Amoxycillin (500mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125mg), an antibiotic combination used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections.

Dosage and Administration

1. Take Amoxyclav 625mg Tablet as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
2. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, preferably at the start of a meal to minimize potential gastrointestinal intolerance and optimize absorption.
