Cefduce-CV Tablet 6's

Question 1

How does Cefduce-CV Tablet work?

Accepted Answer

Cefduce-CV Tablet is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefpodoxime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefpodoxime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria. Clavulanic acid works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of cefpodoxime against the bacteria. Together, Cefduce-CV Tablet helps to treat bacterial infections.

Question 2

Does Cefduce-CV Tablet cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Cefduce-CV Tablet may cause Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD). Treatment with antibiotics alters the normal flora leading to overgrowth of Clostridium difficile; this causes diarrhoea. Drink lots of fluids and eat food rich in fibre if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience prolonged diarrhoea with abdominal pain, stop taking Cefduce-CV Tablet and consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Question 3

Can I stop taking Cefduce-CV Tablet on my own?

Accepted Answer

Do not stop taking Cefduce-CV Tablet despite symptomatic relief. To treat your condition effectually continue taking Cefduce-CV Tablet for as long as it has been prescribed for you.

Question 4

Can I take Cefduce-CV Tablet on my own?

Accepted Answer

Do not take Cefduce-CV Tablet on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.
