Advent DT 457 Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It contains Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. It may cause side effects like indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain.
