Mode of Action of Cefaclav 125mg Tablets

How Does It Work?

Cefaclav Tablet works by the combined action of both its components: cefuroxime and clavulanic acid
Cefuroxime acts by inhibiting the cell wall synthesis of bacteria, which is responsible for bacterial infection. However, bacteria make an enzyme (beta-lactamases), which can destroy cefuroxime.
Clavulanic acid inactivates this enzyme and hence helps cefuroxime to function optimally.
