About Seftica CV Tablet

Seftica CV Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, and uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Seftica CV Tablet does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

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

The dose and duration of Seftica CV Tablet can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before starting Seftica CV Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take $ your name on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Avoid taking Seftica CV Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent unpleasant side effects. Seftica CV Tablet may cause decreased alertness, confusion, and unusual muscle stiffness or movements, so be cautious while driving. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

The duration of taking Seftica CV Tablet depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as your individual response to the medication. It's essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare professional, even if you start feeling better before finishing the medication.

Stopping the medication too soon can lead to antibiotic resistance, making it harder to treat future infections, so be sure to finish the entire course of treatment as directed.
