1. Cefpodoxime Proxetil:
o It is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This action weakens the bacterial cell wall, leading to the rupture and death of the bacteria.
2. Potassium Clavulanate:
o It is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that works by preventing bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases) from breaking down cefpodoxime. This enhances the effectiveness of cefpodoxime against bacteria that produce these enzymes and are resistant to other antibiotics.
The combination of Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Potassium Clavulanate provides broad-spectrum coverage against various bacterial infections.
