Amoxicillin/clavulanate, also known by the brand name Augmentin, is an antibiotic medication commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including sinus infections. It belongs to a group of drugs called beta-lactamase inhibitors, which combine amoxicillin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, with clavulanic acid, which enhances the effectiveness of amoxicillin. This combination helps extend the spectrum of activity against bacteria typically resistant to amoxicillin alone.
