Mode of Action of Omnix Cv 200mg Tablet

How Does It Work?
Cefixime controls the growth of bacteria and kills them by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.
However, the bacteria can make an enzyme (beta-lactamases) that can destroy cefixime.
Clavulanic acid inactivates this enzyme. This helps cefixime to function optimally.
