Brief Answer:
It can be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Amox clav (Amoxycillin and clavulonic acid) is a broad spectrum antibiotic and can be used for treating diverticulitis. But usually preferred one is combination of ofloxacin and ornidazole along with probiotics.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
