Cefpokinz-CV Tablet is a combination medicine prescribed to treat respiratory tract infections by preventing the growth and spread of microorganisms. Cefpokinz-CV Tablet is a combination of two medicines, Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid, used to treat respiratory tract infections. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic that prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefpodoxime Proxetil. This combination helps in treating infections effectively. It is important to complete the prescribed course even if you start feeling better to prevent the infection from returning and becoming harder to treat. Common side effects may include diarrhea, and it is advised to consult a doctor if severe side effects like bloody stools or abdominal cramps occur.
