Nelpod CV 50 mg/31.25 mg Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefpodoxime Proxetil against bacteria.
Cefpodoxime is an oral third generation cephalosporin antibiotic with effectiveness against most Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Commonly used to treat acute otitis media, pharyngitis, and sinusitis, cefpodoxime proxetil is a prodrug which is absorbed and de-esterified by the intestinal mucosa to Cefpodoxime. Clavulanic acid on its own has a poor antimicrobial effect on its own but combining it with amoxicillin or ticarcillin can restore the efficacy spectrum against β-lactamase-producing bacteria.
Nelpod CV 50 mg/31.25 mg Dry Syrup does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children.
