Fuzire-CV
This combination tablet contains Cefuroxime Axetil (250 mg) and Clavulanate (125 mg). Cefuroxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Cefuroxime from bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases) that could otherwise inactivate it. This combination enhances the effectiveness of Cefuroxime, particularly against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
