CEFUDIF CV is a fixed dose combination of Clavulanate Potassium and Cefuroxime Axetil, which is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Clavulanate Potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps to inhibit the activity of beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, thus allowing Cefuroxime Axetil to exert its antibacterial effects. Cefuroxime Axetil is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria. This combination provides a broader spectrum of activity against susceptible bacteria, making it effective in the treatment of respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and other bacterial infections.
