About Dutaclav-CF Tablet

CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID belongs to the group of medicines called 'antibiotics' used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, and uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefixime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefixime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival, thereby, killing the bacteria and preventing the spread of infections. Clavulanic acid works by enhancing the activity of cefixime against bacteria and decreasing bacterial resistance. Together, CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID helps to treat bacterial infections.

Before starting CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems.

Talk to your doctor before taking CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID if you had colitis (inflammation in the lining of the colon). CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID increases in prothrombin time (time is taken for the blood to clot), and therefore care should be taken in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy.

Avoid alcohol consumption while taking CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID to prevent unpleasant side-effects. CEFIXIME+CLAVULANIC ACID may cause decreased alertness, confusion, and unusual muscle stiffness or movements; so be cautious while driving.
