Augmentin BID is a combination antibiotic that includes Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. The Amoxicillin component is a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the effectiveness of Amoxicillin against resistant bacteria. This combination makes Augmentin effective in treating various bacterial infections that may be resistant to Amoxicillin alone.
