1. Amoxicillin/clavulanate formulations are prone to degradation due to the instability of clavulanic acid. Innovative packaging such as polyvinyl alcohol blisters and dark amber glass bottles helps maintain the activity of amoxicillin/clavulanate over 6 months at elevated temperature and humidity. 2. Studies have shown amoxicillin/clavulanate to be highly effective against common respiratory pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. It is recommended as first-line treatment for acute sinusitis, tonsillitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and

A contemporary (2002–2003) national collection of
