About
FAROALFA CV combines Faropenem, a potent carbapenem antibiotic, with Clavulanic Acid, a well-established beta-lactamase inhibitor. Faropenem functions by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis, a critical process for bacterial survival, through its interaction with penicillin-binding proteins. Clavulanic Acid, on the other hand, acts as a suicide inhibitor, irreversibly binding to and inactivating a broad spectrum of bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes. These enzymes are often responsible for conferring resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. By protecting Faropenem from enzymatic degradation, Clavulanic Acid significantly extends its antibacterial spectrum, making the combination highly effective against beta-lactamase-producing strains that would otherwise be resistant. This synergistic action makes FAROALFA CV particularly useful for treating complex and severe infections where bacterial resistance is a significant clinical concern, ensuring broader coverage and improved therapeutic outcomes.

- Breastfeeding - Small amounts may pass into breast milk. Use with caution; monitor the infant for adverse effects like diarrhea or rash.
- Liver - Use with caution in patients with pre-existing liver conditions. Clavulanic acid can be associated with hepatic dysfunction; monitor liver function.
- Kidney - Dose adjustment is typically required in patients with impaired renal function to prevent accumulation and potential toxicity.
- Lung - Generally safe for use in patients with lung conditions, unless there are specific contraindications related to severe allergic reactions.
