In order to ensure that bacteria were killed even better, this tool can be mixed with clavulanic acid.
Penicillin without clavulanate with them
If the antibiotic contains in its composition klavulanova acid, so it completely kills all micro-organisms that cause acute sinusitis. At the same time, the antibiotics of this type can be used for the treatment of chronic forms of the disease. Amoxicillin (antibiotic unprotected) in recent times often began to be used for the treatment of sinusitis in adults. Most often it is prescribed to children whose bodies are still not familiar with many bacteria.
For the treatment of chronic sinusitis this antibiotic is practically not used. This is because recently the resistance of bacteria to Amoxicillin has increased several times.

- Hiconcil, Slovak drug.
- Secure Amoxicillin with the addition of clavulanic acid.
Lately, due to the fact that bacterial resistance to the effects of antibiotics has increased significantly, became more popular protected types of medication. Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid is able to kill different kinds of bacteria that are both gram-positive and gram-negative flora. The human body is very tolerant to this antibiotic. To use the medicine even during pregnancy, regardless of duration, which is done in obstetric practice today.
