Hello,
Clavam is having Amoxicillin and Clavulinic acid combination.
Both of them are antibiotic and known to cause gastritis.
So possibility of drug induced gastritis is more likely for your stomach discomfort.
So take Pantoprazole tablet on an empty stomach twice daily. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
