NUTIL-CV

Nutil-CV is a combination of two antibiotics namely Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acid. Cefuroxime and Clavulanic acid belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics and beta-lactamase inhibitors respectively. Cefuroxime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby kills the bacteria. Clavulanic acid works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of cefuroxime against the bacteria. Together Nutil-CV helps to treat bacterial infections.

Nutil-CV treats various types of bacterial infections like pharyngitis and tonsillitis, acute bacterial otitis media, acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis, lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and secondary bacterial infections of acute bronchitis, skin and skin structure infections, urinary tract infections, bone and joint infections, gonorrhea( uncomplicated and disseminated gonococcal infections), early Lyme disease( erythema migrans), septicemia, meningitis and in switch therapy (injectable to oral) after surgery when patient’s condition is improved.
