Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Potassium Clavulanate

PODKRAFT-CV TABLETS

Introduction

PODKRAFT-CV Tablets contain Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Potassium Clavulanate, a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. This medicine combines a third-generation cephalosporin with a beta-lactamase inhibitor to effectively eliminate bacteria, including resistant strains. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, ear infections, throat infections, and skin infections. When taken as directed by a doctor, it helps ensure faster recovery and prevents the spread of infection.

Uses of PODKRAFT-CV Tablets

PODKRAFT-CV Tablets are used for:

How PODKRAFT-CV Tablets Work

PODKRAFT-CV Tablets combine two active ingredients for enhanced effectiveness:
• Cefpodoxime Proxetil works by destroying the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial death.
• Potassium Clavulanate inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, preventing them from inactivating cefpodoxime.

This dual action broadens the antibiotic spectrum and improves treatment success against resistant bacterial strains.
