Zedocef Cv 50mg Oral Suspension 30ml Description
Zedocef Cv Suspension is an antibiotic that is used to treat infection of the urinary tract, lungs, airways, sinus, throat and windpipe. It is a combination medicine containing cefpodoxime and clavul
anic acid as its active ingredients. It acts by the combined action of its two components. Cefpodoxime inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with the cell wall and clavulanic acid helps in maintaining the optimal levels of Cefpodoxime. Do not use Zedocef Cv Suspension if you are allergic to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics. Complete the course of antibiotics and do not miss any dose or stop taking this medicine on your own as it leads to antibiotic resistance and recurrence of infection. Before using Zedocef Cv Suspension, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.

How Does It Work?
- Zedocef Cv Suspension works by the combined action of both its components: cefpodoxime and clavulanic acid
