Benefits of Pofidox-CV Plus Dry Syrup for your child

In Treatment of Respiratory tract infection

Respiratory tract infections are those infections that can affect the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. Pofidox-CV Plus Dry Syrup contains two different medicines, Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections. Cefpodoxime Proxetil works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefpodoxime Proxetil against bacteria.

It usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.
