Description
Cefpodoxime 50 mg + Potassium Clavulanic 31.25 mg oral suspension
Snudicef-CV 50 Mg Dry Syrup is a class of drugs known as antibiotics that are prescribed to cure many types of bacterial infections like pharyngitis/tonsillitis (throat infection), otitis media (ear infection), sinusitis (sinus infection), community-acquired pneumonia, gonorrhea (sexually transmitted infection), anorectal infections in females, skin, and urinary tract infections. Bacterial infections occur because of the growth of harmful bacteria within or on the body.
Snudicef-CV 50 Mg Dry Syrup is a combination of two antibacterial drugs, Cefpodoxime proxetil (cephalosporin group of antibiotics) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefpodoxime proxetil acts by inhibiting the development of bacterial cell covering, which is essential for them to survive. So, it kills bacteria. Clavulanic acid acts by reducing bacterial resistance and increasing the activity of Cefpodoxime proxetil against bacteria. Both together, Snudicef-CV 50 Mg Dry Syrup is useful in treating bacterial infection.
Medical Benefits:-
Snudicef-CV 50 Mg Dry Syrup contains two antibiotics together: Cefpodoxime proxetil (cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefpodoxime proxetil inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell covering, which is required for their survival. It thus kills bacteria. Clavulanic acid inhibits bacterial resistance and synergistically potentiates the action of Cefpodoxime proxetil against bacteria. Both Snudicef-CV 50 Mg Dry Syrup are utilized to cure infections caused by bacteria. Snudicef-CV 50 Mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic of a wide range effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as beta-lactamase-producing strains of bacteria.

Cefpodoxime Proxetil + Clavulanic Acid is an association of two drugs: Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibacterial agent. It inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial protecting layer necessary for bacterial survival. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that depletes the resistance and adds to the anti-bacterial efficacy of Cefpodoxime Proxetil.
