Mode of Action of Oratil Cv 500mg Strip Of 6 Tablets
How Does It Work?
- Oratil CV 500 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.
