About CEFIXIME+CLAVULANATE ACID

CEFIXIME+CLAVULANATE ACID belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, and uncomplicated gonorrhea. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. IT does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefixime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefixime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival, thereby, killing the bacteria and preventing the spread of infections. Clavulanic acid works by enhancing the activity of cefixime against bacteria and decreasing bacterial resistance. Together, CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID helps to treat bacterial infections.
