MONOCEF O CV 200MG TAB 10 S

About

MONOCEF O CV 200MG TAB is a combination medication containing Cefixime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Cefixime from degradation by bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases), which are a common mechanism of antibiotic resistance. This combination extends the spectrum of Cefixime's activity, making it effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes.

This enhanced spectrum makes MONOCEF O CV 200MG TAB particularly useful for treating a wider range of bacterial infections, especially those caused by resistant strains. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections where bacterial resistance is a concern. Adherence to the full prescribed course is crucial to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent recurrence.
