Zocef CV 250mg – Strip of 6 Tablets – Product Details

Product Name: Zocef CV 250mg
Formulation: Oral Tablets
Pack Size: Strip of 6 Tablets

Composition:

• Cefuroxime: 250 mg
• Clavulanic Acid: 62.5 mg

Explanation of Active Ingredients:

• Cefuroxime (250 mg): Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. This disruption causes the bacteria to die, making it effective against a wide variety of bacterial infections.
• Clavulanic Acid (62.5 mg): Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Some bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that can destroy antibiotics like Cefuroxime. Clavulanic acid prevents the breakdown of Cefuroxime, making it more effective, especially against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.

Indications:
Zocef CV 250 mg is used for the treatment of bacterial infections, especially those caused by beta-lactamase-producing organisms. It is effective against a wide range of infections, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
• Urinary Tract Infections: Like cystitis and pyelonephritis.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Including cellulitis, abscesses, and infected wounds.
• Ear Infections: Such as otitis media.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Like osteomyelitis.
• Gastrointestinal Infections: Including some types of gastroenteritis.

Dosage:

• The dosage of Zocef CV 250mg tablets should be prescribed by a healthcare provider, depending on the infection being treated and the patient’s condition.
  • Common Adult Dose: Typically, one tablet (250 mg of Cefuroxime and 62.5 mg of Clavulanic Acid) is taken twice daily, but your doctor will adjust the dose based on the infection’s severity.
  • Pediatric Dose: The dose for children will be based on their weight and age, and it should only be prescribed by a physician.
  • It is important to take the tablet with food to help reduce any potential gastrointestinal side effects.
  • Always complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
