Cefpodoxime 200 MG + Clavulanic Acid 125 MG Tablet Uses
This formulation is a combination of two powerful compositions known as Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic Acid belong to the class of medications called antibiotics that are primarily used for the treatment of several bacterial infections in the body. Bacteria can enter the human body very easily through the mouth, ears, eyes, or nose, which can cause infection in any part of the body. These bacteria enter the human body and start multiplying very fast on a large scale and cause infections such as pharyngitis/tonsillitis (throat infectious), otitis media (ear infections), Sinusitis infection, gonorrhoea, community-acquired pneumonia, skin, urinary tract infection, etc. This combination of Cefpodoxime 200 MG + Clavulanic Acid 125 MG Tablet helps to treat all of these infections very rapidly and effectively. Cefpodoxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works to kill the bacteria by preventing or damaging the protective cell wall covering the bacteria which is essential for bacteria’s survival inside the body. On the other hand, Clavulanic Acid, which is a beta-lactamase inhibitor works by preventing antibiotic resistance in bacteria and improving the effect of the Cefpodoxime inside the body against bacteria. Together this combination provides complete protection against bacterial infections.
