Zoxil CV works by combining two powerful ingredients. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming their protective cell walls. Clavulanic Acid protects Amoxicillin from being broken down by certain bacteria, allowing it to work effectively. Together, they help clear infections more efficiently.

The scientific mechanism involves Amoxicillin binding to specific proteins in the bacterial cell wall, disrupting its synthesis. This leads to cell lysis and death of the bacteria. Clavulanic Acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, enhancing the efficacy of Amoxicillin.

• Effective Against Bacteria — Kills a wide range of bacteria causing infections.
• Prevents Resistance — Clavulanic Acid helps prevent bacteria from resisting treatment.
• Fast Relief — Works quickly to reduce symptoms of infections.
