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.
