Composition:-
Cefuroxime 500mg + clavulanic acid 125 mg
Uses:-
This combination medication contains Cefuroxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, and Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Cefuroxime works by killing bacteria, while Clavulanic Acid enhances its effectiveness by preventing bacterial resistance. Together, they are used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sinusitis. This combination is particularly effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase, an enzyme that can make some antibiotics ineffective.
Side Effects:-
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Some individuals may experience headache or dizziness. Rare but serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Prolonged use may lead to yeast infections or oral thrush. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention promptly. It’s important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor and to avoid using this medication if you have a known allergy to cephalosporins or beta-lactam antibiotics.
Indication:-
Indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections, this medication is especially useful for conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and urinary tract infections. It is also effective against skin and soft tissue infections. The addition of Clavulanic Acid helps overcome bacterial resistance, making Cefuroxime more effective against a broader spectrum of bacteria. By targeting the infection directly, this combination helps alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.
