Cefuroxime Axetil 500 mg & Potassium Clavulanate 125 mg Tablets

CEFUTANG-CV 500 Tablets contains cefuroxime axetil and potassium clavunate, which is used to treat numerous types of bacterial infections. It is a cephalosporin class of antibiotic and stops the growth of bacteria by inhibiting their cell growth.

Mechanism of Action: –

CEFUTANG-CV 500 has a wide range of activity against usually pathogenic bacteria. It has the bactericidal action of inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefuroxime acts by binding to target proteins responsible for bacterial replication. 

Clavulanic acid is a β-lactamase inhibitor derived from nature by Streptomyces clavuligerus. Clavulanic acid binds to and inactivates them, thereby inhibiting the breakdown of cefuroxime, which is a substrate for this enzyme.

• Pharyngitis/tonsillitis

Cefuroxime Axetil and Potassium Clavulanate Tablets are a combination of two antibiotics: CEFUROXIME AXETIL 500 MG + POTASSIUM CLAVULANATE 125 MG.
