Cefuroxime + Clavulanic Acid

Uses

Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid are used in the treatment of bacterial infections.

How it Works

How Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid Work Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefuroxime. The addition of Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefuroxime against bacteria.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid include diarrhea.
