How does Augmentin (Amoxicillin Clavulanic Acid) work?

Augmentin contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid as active ingredients. Amoxicillin belongs to the class of drug known as penicillins. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactase inhibitor. It helps prevent some types of bacteria from becoming resistant to amoxicillin. This allows the amoxicillin to do its job and to fight the bacteria that cause the infections in the body. The amoxicillin kills the bacteria by attaching itself with the proteins of the bacteria. This prevents the bacteria from building up their cell wall which results in their death.
