Therapeutic Class: Antibiotic

Pharmacology: Cefuroxime is Second generation Cephalosporin. Cefuroxime is a well-characterized and effective antibacterial agent, which has broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against a wide range of common pathogens, including B-lactamase producing strains. Cefuroxime has good stability to bacterial ß-lactamase and consequently, is active against many ampicillin-resistant and amoxycillin-resistant strains. Clavulanic acid has a similar structure to the beta-lactam antibiotics but binds irreversibly to the beta-lactamase enzymes. The presence of clavulanic acid in CLAVIATOR-CV formulations protects cefuroxime from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes and effectively extends the antibacterial spectrum of cefuroxime to include many bacteria normally resistant to cefuroxime and other cephalosporins.

Dose & Administration:

CLAVIATOR-CV Tablets: The usual course of therapy with CLAVIATOR-CV tablets is 5 to 7 days for treatment of bronchitis and 7 to 10 days for most other infection.

Geriatric Use: The geriatric patients reported somewhat fewer gastrointestinal events and less frequent vaginal candidiasis compared with patients aged 12 to 64 years old; however, no clinically significant differences were reported between the elderly and younger adult patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger adult patients

Contraindication: Patients with known allergy to cephalosporin’s & pseudomembranous colitis are contraindicated.

Warning and Precaution: CLAVIATOR-CV should be given with care to patients receiving treatment with potent diuretics & who have history of colitis.

Side Effects:

As with other broad-spectrum antibiotics, prolonged administration of Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acid combination may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible microorganisms.

b) Rare: Rarely (<0.2%) renal dysfunction, anaphylaxis, angioedema, pruritis, rash and serum sickness like urticaria may appear

Use in Pregnancy & Lactation: During pregnancy: All antibiotics should be avoided in the first trimester, if possible. However, CLAVIATOR-CV can be safely used in later pregnancy to treat urinary and other infections.

During lactation: CLAVIATOR-CV is excreted into the breast milk in small quantities. However, the possibility of sensitizing the infant should be kept in mind.

Drug Interaction:

a) With medicine: Concomitant administration of probenecid with CLAVIATOR-CV increases the area under the serum concentration versus time curves by 50%. Drugs that reduces gastric acidity may result in a lower bioavailability of cefuroxime and tend to cancel the effect of postprandial absorption.

b) With Food: Alcohol has no directed effect on CLAVIATOR-CV. However it may aggravate infection / CLAVIATOR-CV induced stomach upset or headache

Overdose: Overdose of CLAVIATOR-CV can cause cerebral irritation leading to convulsions. Serum levels of CLAVIATOR-CV can be reduced by hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
