Mechanism of Action:

This combination works synergistically to kill bacteria:

Cefixime (200 mg): A cephalosporin antibiotic that interferes with the formation of the bacteria's cell wall, leading to its rupture and death.
Clavulanic Acid (125 mg): It inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to deactivate antibiotics like Cefixime. This protects Cefixime and enhances its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Allergic reactions (rash, itching)
