DESCRIPTION:
E-Fact-CV Dry Syrup is a combination medication containing Cefpodoxime Proxetil (50mg) and Clavulanic Acid (31.25mg), used to treat various bacterial infections. Cefpodoxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid protects Cefpodoxime from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes, thus making it more effective in treating infections caused by resistant bacteria.
Uses of E-Fact-CV Dry Syrup
E-Fact-CV Dry Syrup is used for treating bacterial infections such as:
- Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)

How E-Fact-CV Dry Syrup Works
E-Fact-CV Dry Syrup works through its dual active ingredients. Cefpodoxime inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which leads to bacterial death. Clavulanic Acid prevents the breakdown of Cefpodoxime by beta-lactamase enzymes, enhancing its activity against resistant bacteria.
