Augmentin Infant Drops 20ml is a pediatric antibiotic containing Amoxicillin 50mg and Clavulanic Acid 12.5mg per ml (62.5mg/ml). It is commonly prescribed for infants and young children to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including ear, nose, throat, respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue infections.
