Composition

Ingredient	Strength	Function
Cefpodoxime Proxetil	200 mg	A cephalosporin antibiotic that helps control bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Potassium Clavulanate	125 mg	A beta-lactamase inhibitor that supports the effectiveness of Cefpodoxime by reducing the risk of bacterial resistance.

How Does Cefpodoxime Proxetil 200mg + Potassium Clavulanate 125mg Tablet Work?

• Step 1: After oral intake, the tablet dissolves in the digestive tract and the active ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Step 2: The medicine circulates through the body and reaches the area where the bacterial infection is present.
• Step 3: Cefpodoxime Proxetil damages the bacterial cell wall structure, which weakens the bacteria and disrupts their survival.
• Step 4: Potassium Clavulanate blocks beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria that normally deactivate antibiotics.
• Step 5: With the enzyme blocked, Cefpodoxime can work more effectively, helping stop bacterial growth and supporting the body in clearing the infection.
