Description

Mega-CV Duo 1gm Tablet is a high-strength combination antibiotic used for the treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections. It contains:

Amoxycillin (875mg): A broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis.
Clavulanic Acid (125mg): A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Amoxycillin from degradation by resistant bacteria, enhancing its efficacy.

This formulation is designed for adults or severe infections requiring a higher antibiotic dose to ensure effective bacterial eradication.
