MICROCEF CV 200 TAB

About

MICROCEF CV 200 TAB is a combination antibiotic containing Cefixime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin, works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bactericidal action. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefixime from enzymatic degradation by resistant bacteria, thereby broadening its spectrum of activity. This synergistic combination is highly effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including those caused by beta-lactamase-producing strains, which are often resistant to other antibiotics. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections, offering a potent solution against various common pathogens.
