CEKODA CV

Description

Cekoda CV Tablet is a combination antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, offering broader and more potent coverage than cefpodoxime alone due to the synergistic action of clavulanic acid.

Uses / Indications

• Respiratory tract infections: Sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and infections of the airways or lungs.

• Urinary tract infections.

• Ear infections (otitis media).

• Skin and soft tissue infections.

• Some reproductive tract and sexually transmitted infections (as prescribed).

How it Works / Key Benefits

• Cefpodoxime: Third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, kills bacteria by inhibiting their cell wall synthesis.

• Clavulanic acid: Beta-lactamase inhibitor, prevents bacterial resistance by blocking the enzymes that inactivate cefpodoxime—expanding the spectrum, especially against resistant bacteria.

• The combination allows more effective treatment of infections caused by both susceptible and certain resistant bacteria.

Dosage & Administration

• Take orally, with or without food, as directed by the physician.

• Swallow whole—do not chew/crush/tablet; usually taken at the same time every day.

• Complete the full course—even if symptoms resolve early—to ensure complete eradication and prevent resistance.

• The dose and duration depend on the type and severity of infection.

Safety & Side Effects

• Common: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, skin rash, vaginal infection.

• May cause rare allergic reactions (itchiness, swelling, breathing problems); seek urgent help if severe.

• Stop and inform your doctor if severe diarrhea, rashes, or signs of allergy occur.

• Avoid use if allergic to cephalosporins, penicillins, or any component; caution in kidney/liver disease or seizure disorders.

• Safe use in pregnancy and breastfeeding should be confirmed with a doctor.

Note:
Cekoda CV is only for bacterial infections—never use for viral illnesses like colds or flu. Responsible, physician-guided use is crucial to prevent antibiotic resistance and side effects.
