How it Works

Cefizal CV 200mg/125mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Cefixime, Clavulanic Acid, and Lactobacillus. Cefixime is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefixime. Addition of Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefixime against bacteria. Lactobacillus is a live micro-organism which restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine that may get upset with antibiotic use or due to intestinal infections.
