Pulmocef-CV 500 Tablet works in the human body in the following ways:

Cefuroxime (500 mg): This is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. The bacterial cell wall, thus, loses its integrity, causing the bacteria to break open and die.
Clavulanic acid (125 mg): As a beta-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanic acid neutralises the beta-lactamase enzyme (produced by certain bacteria), thus preventing it from inactivating or resisting antibiotics like cefuroxime. This action reactivates cefuroxime's activity against the bacteria.

Pregnancy

The medicine should be used in pregnancy only when necessary. Exercise caution and consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, exercise caution and consult your doctor before starting this medicine. They will determine whether it is safe to use the medicine while nursing.

It is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption while taking the medicine as it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness. Always consult your doctor regarding alcohol intake.

Liver

The medicine is contraindicated in patients with severe liver disease or those with cholestatic hepatitis or ischaemic hepatitis. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Pulmocef-CV 500 Tablet if you have a history of kidney problems as cefuroxime has the potential of triggering seizures. Dosage adjustments may be recommended. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

This medicine may cause dizziness or fatigue in some individuals. If you experience these symptoms, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel well enough.

Allergy

Pulmocef-CV 500 Tablet is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cefuroxime, clavulanic acid, or any other beta-lactam antibiotics. Always discuss your allergies with your doctor.

Children

The medicine should be given to children only under strict medical supervision. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
