Cefory Cv

Description

Cefory CV is a prescription medication that combines two powerful ingredients: cefpodoxime proxetil and potassium clavulanate. Cefpodoxime proxetil belongs to a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins. It works by interfering with the bacteria’s cell wall synthesis, essentially weakening the bacterial cell wall and causing the bacteria to die. Potassium clavulanate, on the other hand, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by some bacteria that can break down certain antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. Potassium clavulanate prevents the action of beta-lactamase, ensuring that cefpodoxime proxetil can function effectively against a broader range of bacteria.

This combination medication is primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the respiratory tract, such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and tonsillitis. It’s important to note that Cefory CV is only effective against bacterial infections, not viral infections like the common cold or flu.
