Cefrax CV

Cefrax CV from Cipla pairs cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, with clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps overcome bacteria that try to resist the antibiotic.

• Resistant respiratory tract infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Ear, sinus and throat infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

Cefixime damages the bacterial cell wall. Some bacteria release beta-lactamase enzymes to break down such antibiotics. Clavulanic acid blocks those enzymes so cefixime can finish its job.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with food for a gentler effect on the stomach. Complete the full course even if you feel better.

• Nausea or stomach upset
• Loose stools or diarrhoea
• Mild rash
• Headache

Tell your doctor about any allergy to penicillin or cephalosporins, liver issues or kidney problems. Report severe diarrhoea promptly.

Store below 25 degrees C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.
