Product Description:
CEFOLITE®-CV Syrup is a combination pediatric antibiotic containing Cefpodoxime, a third-generation cephalosporin, and Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It is designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including ENT, respiratory tract, skin, and urinary tract infections, especially those caused by beta-lactamase producing resistant strains.
The child-friendly flavor improves compliance, while the potent combination ensures effective bacterial eradication.

How It Works:
