Product Description:
Cefolite®-CV combines Cefpodoxime, a third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic, with Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination expands the spectrum of action to effectively treat beta-lactamase producing bacteria, which are often resistant to regular antibiotics.
It is indicated in infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues, ENT, and gynecological systems.
Key Benefits:
-
Dual-action protection against resistant gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
-
Treats bronchitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, UTIs, and skin infections
-
Useful in community-acquired infections and mild to moderate hospital infections
-
Oral therapy with good gastrointestinal tolerance
-
Improved clinical outcomes in mixed bacterial infections
How It Works:
-
Cefpodoxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis
-
Clavulanic Acid prevents the destruction of Cefpodoxime by beta-lactamase enzymes, thus restoring its antibacterial activity
This combination ensures broad and enhanced coverage against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.

-
