Treatment of Resistance Tuberculosis (TB)|Treatment of Bacterial infections

In Treatment of Resistance Tuberculosis (TB) In multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis the causative bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase. This enzyme breaks down the antibiotics and makes them ineffective. As a result the bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic being used for treatment. Amocrin CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet comprises two active ingredients amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. While clavulanic acid stops the enzyme from rendering amoxycillin ineffective amoxycillin works towards killing the tuberculosis-causing bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective treatment for resistant tuberculosis.
