Cefaclav is an antibiotic medicine designed to treat infections caused by bacteria sensitive to its active ingredients—Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin, disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Clavulanic Acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes, enhancing the antibiotic’s effectiveness against resistant strains.
