CEFUROXIME 125 MG + CLAVULANATE ACID 31.25 MG DRY SYRUP

DESCRIPTION

Cefu CV Dry Syrup consists of a combination of (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg) Cefuroxime functions as an antibiotic by inhibiting the development of the protective barrier that bacteria require for their survival within the human body. Clavulanic Acid serves as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, effectively obstructing the enzymes produced by bacteria that would otherwise deactivate Cefuroxime. The inclusion of Clavulanic Acid diminishes bacterial resistance and amplifies the efficacy of Cefuroxime against bacterial infections.

INDICATION

• Acute otitis media : Otitis media (AOM), is an infection of the middle ear (the area behind the eardrum), common in infants and young children.  Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg) is used to treat acute otitis media caused by bacteria. 

• Sinusitis : Sinusitis is the swelling of membranes that line your nose and surrounding sinuses (four paired spaces in the head). It is often caused by bacteria and sometimes, viruses and fungi. You may experience a stuffed nose and pain or pressure behind your eyes, nose, cheeks, or forehead. Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg)  is used to treat bacterial sinusitis.

• Lower Respiratory Tract Infection : Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg)  is used to treat the following lung infections. 

1. Pneumonia : Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg)  is an infection of the air sacs in the lungs (either single or both lungs). It can be bacterial and viral. This medicine is used to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria.  

    2. Bronchitis : Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg)  is        the swelling and irritation of bronchial tubes that regulates   air passage in the lungs.          It is used to treat bronchitis caused by bacteria.
 

   3. Tuberculosis : Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg)is        a lung infection caused by bacteria. Cefu CV Dry Syrup kills this bacteria that is                  resistant to multiple antibiotics.

• Skin Infection : Skin and soft tissue infections occur when the bacteria invade the skin and its supporting structures. Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg) is used to treat all skin infections including abscess caused by bacteria. 

• Urinary Tract Infection : An infection in any part of your urinary system- the kidneys, bladder, ureters (tubes that propel urine from kidneys to the urinary bladder), or urethra (lower opening of bladder) is called urinary tract infection (UTIs). UTIs are caused by bacteria and in some cases, viruses or fungi. Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg)  is used to treat urinary tract infections caused by bacteria.

• Osteomyelitis : Osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the bone. Cefu CV Dry Syrup (Cefuroxime 125 mg + Clavulanic Acid 31.25 mg) is used to treat such bone and joint infections caused by bacteria. Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that causes inflammation or swelling in the bone tissue. It can be acute (recent onset) or chronic (longstanding).

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

Cefuroxime a second-generation cephalosporin, exerts its action by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are crucial for building the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death. However, some bacteria produce β-lactamases, enzymes that can destroy the β-lactam structure of cefuroxime, rendering it ineffective.

Clavulanic Acid comes in. As a β-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanic acid binds to and inactivates these bacterial β-lactamases, preventing the breakdown of cefuroxime. This combination allows cefuroxime to remain effective against a broader spectrum of bacteria, including those that produce β-lactamases, which would normally confer resistance. Together, they enhance the treatment of various bacterial infections, including those of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin.
