Product Description
It appears there might be a slight typo in your request. "Lav potta" is not a standard pharmaceutical term. However, given that it's combined with Cefpodoxime Proxetil, it's highly probable that "lav potta" is a phonetic spelling or a local abbreviation for Potassium Clavulanate.
Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic, and Potassium Clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor often combined with antibiotics to make them more effective against resistant bacteria.
So, the combination you're likely referring to is:
Cefpodoxime Proxetil 200 mg + Potassium Clavulanate 125 mg
This is a very common and effective combination antibiotic medication.
How it Works:
- Cefpodoxime Proxetil (200 mg): This is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. This leads to the death of the bacteria.
- Potassium Clavulanate (125 mg): This is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Many bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can inactivate antibiotics like Cefpodoxime, rendering them ineffective. Potassium clavulanate works by binding to and blocking these enzymes, thereby protecting Cefpodoxime from degradation and extending its spectrum of activity against a wider range of bacteria, including those that produce beta-lactamases.
