How Does It Work?

• Cefpodoxime is an antibiotic that inhibits the formation of the bacterial cell wall resulting in bacterial death.
• Clavulanic acid inhibits a chemical substance, β-lactamase produced by bacterial cells, which breaks down Cefpodoxime and thereby allows cefpodoxime to attack and kill the bacteria. It reduces resistance and enhances the activity of cefpodoxime against bacteria.
