FORCEF CV 500MG 1*6

About

FORCEF CV 500MG is a potent combination antibiotic comprising Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, primarily acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is vital for bacterial survival, leading to a bactericidal effect. Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, plays a crucial role by protecting cefuroxime from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes. These enzymes are produced by certain resistant bacteria, rendering many beta-lactam antibiotics ineffective. This synergistic combination significantly broadens the spectrum of activity of cefuroxime, making it highly effective against a wider range of bacteria, including those that have developed resistance through beta-lactamase production. It is particularly valuable in treating infections where bacterial resistance is a significant clinical concern, with the 500mg strength referring to the cefuroxime component, providing robust antimicrobial coverage for various moderate to severe bacterial infections.
