How Cefakind-CV Tablet works
Clavusef 250 is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefuroxime. Addition of Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefuroxime against bacteria.
Quick Tips
- You have been prescribed this combination medicine to treat bacterial infections, even if they have developed resistance.
- Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection to come back and harder to treat.
- Take it with food to avoid an upset stomach.
- Diarrhea may occur as a side effect. Taking probiotics may help. Talk to your doctor if you notice bloody stools or develop abdominal cramps.
- Stop taking Clavusef 250 and inform your doctor immediately if you develop an itchy rash, swelling of the face, throat or tongue or breathing difficulties while taking it.
- Do not use leftover medicine for treating any infection in the future. Always consult your doctor before taking any antibiotic.

Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to cephalosporins.
Mode of Action
Cefuroxime binds to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death.
Addition of clavulanate inhibits beta-lactamase-producing bacteria; Clavulanic acid has a high affinity for and binds to certain ?-lactamases that generally inactivate Cefuroxime by hydrolyzing its ?-lactam ring. Combining clavulanate potassium with Cefuroxime extends the antibacterial spectrum of Cefuroxime to include many bacteria normally resistant to Cefuroxime and other penicillins and cephalosporins.
Precaution
Severe renal impairment; pregnancy, lactation; hypersensitivity to penicillins.
Lactation: Drug excreted in breast milk; use with caution
Side Effect
>10%
Diarrhea (4-11%; depends on duration)
1-10%
Decreased hemoglobin or hematocrit (10%),Eosinophilia (7%),Nausea or vomiting (3-7%),Vaginitis (<5%),Transient rise in hepatic transaminases (2-4%),Diaper rash (3%),Increase in alkaline phosphatase (2%),Thrombophlebitis (2%),Increase in lactate dehydrogenase (1%)
<1%
Anemia,Cholestasis,Colitis,Dyspnea,Epidermal necrolysis,Increase in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine,Jaundice,Nephritis,Prolonged prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR),Rash,Stevens-Johnson syndrome,Stomach cramps,Transient neutropenia and leukopenia,Urticaria
Potentially Fatal: Anaphylaxis, nephrotoxicity, pseudomembranous colitis.
Interaction
May enhance the nephrotoxic effect of strong-acting diuretics (e.g. furosemide) and aminoglycosides. May enhance the effect of oral anticoagulants. May reduce the efficacy of OCs. Probenecid prolongs the excretion of cefuroxime and elevated peak serum level.
