Cefakind Cv 250

Cefuroxime (250mg) + Clavulanic Acid (125mg)

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis/pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and dental infections.

Cefuroxime (a cephalosporin antibiotic) kills bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefuroxime from enzymatic degradation, helping it work against beta-lactamase–producing bacteria.

Take as prescribed by the doctor. For tablets, take preferably after food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew. Complete the full course even if you feel better.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, indigestion, headache, dizziness, rash, itching, oral/vaginal candidiasis, elevated liver enzymes

Do not use if allergic to cefuroxime/cephalosporins; use caution in patients with penicillin allergy (cross-reactivity possible). Use with caution in kidney disease; dose adjustment may be needed. Prolonged use may cause superinfection (e.g., fungal) and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea/C. difficile; seek care for severe/persistent diarrhoea. Monitor for severe allergic reactions (swelling, breathing difficulty) and severe skin reactions. Inform doctor if you have liver disease or history of colitis.

Probenecid (increases cefuroxime levels), anticoagulants like warfarin (may increase bleeding risk/INR), methotrexate (reduced clearance/toxicity risk), oral contraceptives (reduced effectiveness possible with severe diarrhoea/vomiting), antacids/H2 blockers/PPIs (may reduce cefuroxime absorption), aminoglycosides/loop diuretics (increased risk of kidney effects)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.
