A tablet containing Cefpodoxime 200mg and Clavulanate 125mg is a prescription antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. The combination is effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to standard antibiotics. How it worksThe tablet contains two medications that work together:
Cefpodoxime: A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from building their protective cell wall.
Clavulanic acid: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases) that would otherwise destroy the cefpodoxime, allowing the antibiotic to work effectively.
