Description
Afix Ca Tablet contains a combination of Cefixime and Clavulanic Acid as active ingredients. Cefixime combats bacterial infections by preventing cell wall synthesis, which ultimately kills the bacter
ia. However, some bacteria produce beta-lactamase enzymes that can neutralize Cefixime. Clavulanic acid overcomes this by inactivating these enzymes, thereby allowing Cefixime to work effectively. This is a higher antibiotic meant for the treatment of severe infections.
