Introduction to Stenpod CV Cefpodoxime Potassium Clavulanate Tablets
Stenpod CV combines Cefpodoxime (a cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanate Potassium (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) to effectively treat infections caused by bacteria. The synergy between these two components helps overcome bacterial resistance mechanisms, providing a robust solution for managing bacterial infections.

Improved Patient Compliance: The dual action improves the likelihood of successful treatment, reducing the need for alternative therapies.
Mechanism of Action of Stenpod CV Cefpodoxime Potassium Clavulanate Tablets
Cefpodoxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Clavulanate Potassium inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, which would otherwise deactivate cefpodoxime. This combination ensures that cefpodoxime remains effective against bacteria that produce these resistance enzymes, providing a comprehensive approach to infection control.
