Description
Princiclav 500 mg/125 mg Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combination medicine used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains Amoxycillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic that fights infection-causing bacteria, and Clavulanic Acid, which helps prevent bacteria from becoming resistant to amoxycillin.
