Introduction
Zimox CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet is an effective antibiotic for treating a wide range of bacterial infections. It is particularly useful for infections that have become resistant to other treatments, including resistant tuberculosis. The medication contains two active ingredients: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against many types of infections. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Common side effects may include a bitter taste in the mouth and diarrhea. Always consult a doctor before using this medication.
Directions for Use
Administer the tablet as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Do not share the medication with others or use it for future illnesses.
