Clacido Injection (1 gm + 200 mg)/20 ml is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combination containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This injectable formulation is designed to manage moderate to severe bacterial infections, especially those caused by bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes and are resistant to standard antibiotics.

Clacido Injection is widely used in hospital settings for its rapid onset of action and reliable efficacy. It is particularly useful when oral therapy is not suitable or when immediate treatment is required.

Composition

Each 20 ml vial contains:

• Amoxicillin 1 gm (1000 mg)
• Clavulanic Acid 200 mg

It is provided as a sterile preparation for intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) administration.

Mechanism of Action

This combination works synergistically to eliminate bacterial infections:

• Amoxicillin:
  • Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis
  • Leads to bacterial cell lysis and death
• Clavulanic Acid:
  • Blocks beta-lactamase enzymes that degrade amoxicillin
  • Extends the antibacterial spectrum of amoxicillin

Together, they effectively target both susceptible and resistant bacteria.
