Mexclav 250mg+62.5mg Tablet | 7pcs

Cefuroxime Axetil + Clavulanic Acid

Therapeutic Class: Second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic (with beta-lactamase inhibitor)

Tablet: May be taken with or without food.

Cefuroxime acts by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which inhibit the final transpeptidation step in bacterial cell wall synthesis. This halts peptidoglycan formation, leading to bacterial cell death.

Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes that normally inactivate cefuroxime by hydrolyzing its β-lactam ring. The combination extends the antibacterial spectrum of cefuroxime, making it effective against many beta-lactamase–producing bacteria resistant to cephalosporins or penicillins.
