Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic Acid Dry Syrup | Bacfose CV-100
Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic Acid Dry Syrup is a medication that combines two active ingredients, cefpodoxime proxetil and clavulanic acid. This formulation is primarily used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in children, particularly respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections.
How Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic Acid Dry Syrup Works
Cefpodoxime proxetil and clavulanic acid are combined in a dry syrup form to treat various infections. Cefpodoxime proxetil is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It does this by interfering with the cell wall of the bacteria. Clavulanic acid, on the other hand, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor.
It prevents the breakdown of cefpodoxime by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, thereby enhancing the activity of cefpodoxime against these bacteria.
