GUDCEF CV 100 D/S 30ML

About

GUDCEF CV 100 D/S 30ML is an antibiotic combination containing Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid, formulated as a dry syrup. Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin that acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bactericidal effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Cefpodoxime from enzymatic degradation by resistant bacteria, thereby enhancing its efficacy and extending its antibacterial spectrum. This synergistic action makes the combination highly effective against various bacterial infections, including those caused by beta-lactamase-producing strains.

This formulation is particularly useful in pediatric patients due to its palatable dry syrup form and precise dosing capabilities. It is indicated for the treatment of common bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and other systems. Adherence to the prescribed dosage and duration is crucial to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes and to minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance.
