How it works
Nopod-CV Dry Syrup is a combination of Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic that prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefpodoxime Proxetil against bacteria.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed this combination medicine to treat bacterial infections even if they have developed resistance. Take it with food and plenty of fluids to avoid an upset stomach. Finish the prescribed course even if you start to feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat. Diarrhea may occur as a side effect.
