Antibiotic Flemoclav

Pathogenic bacteria are able to release a special substance, beta-lactamase, which prevents the action of antimicrobials. To neutralize this compound, clavulanic acid, inactivating beta-lactamase, is added to some drugs. These drugs include the antibiotic Flemoclav complex agent, which helps prevent the development of bacteria in resistance to an antimicrobial drug.
