CEFUROXIME 500 MG + CLAVULANIC 125 MG

DESCRIPTION
 

Cefu CV-625 Tablet is an antibiotic consisting of (Cefuroxime 500 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg). It is used to treat bacterial infections affecting the lungs, nose, throat, ears, skin and urinary tract. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall and eventually kills them. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections. Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefuroxime from being broken down by certain bacterial enzymes. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) combination enhances the effectiveness of cefuroxime against resistant bacteria producing beta-lactamases.

INDICATION

• Pharyngitis/Tonsilitis : Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are infections that cause swelling and soreness in the throat and tonsils. If the infection affects both the throat and the tonsils, it would be called pharyngotonsillitis. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used to treat pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and pharyngotonsillitis.

• Sinusitis : Sinusitis is the swelling of membranes that line your nose and surrounding sinuses. 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-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used to treat bacterial sinusitis and provides relief in three to eight weeks.

• Acute bronchitis : Bronchitis is the swelling and irritation of bronchial tubes that regulates air passage in the lungs. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used to treat bronchitis caused by bacteria. It is also used to treat a sudden worsening of chronic bronchitis (long-term inflammation of the bronchi) and subsequent bronchitis episodes.

• Skin and soft tissue infections : Skin and soft tissue infections occur when the bacteria invade the skin and its supporting structures. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used to treat all skin infections including abscess caused by bacteria.

• Urinary tract infections : An infection in any part of your urinary system (kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra) is called a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are the most common infections in humans and women are at greater risk of getting this infection. UTIs are caused by bacteria and in some cases, viruses or fungi. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by bacteria.

• Lyme disease : Lyme disease is an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. This infection is spread to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks that carries the bacteria. This condition can be treated in a few weeks by using antibiotics. Cefu CV-625 Tablet (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used in the treatment of Lyme disease.

• Acute bacterial 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-625 Tablet  (Cefuroxime 500 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) is used to treat acute otitis media caused by bacteria.

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

Cefuroxime (500 mg) like the penicillins, is a beta-lactam antibiotic. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cefuroxime interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.

Clavulanic Acid (125 mg) contains a beta-lactam ring in its structure that binds in an irreversible fashion to beta-lactamases, preventing them from inactivating certain beta-lactam antibiotics, with efficacy in treating susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative infections.
