Composition

• Cefuroxime Axetil: 125 mg per 5 ml

• Clavulanic Acid: 31.25 mg per 5 ml

Pharmacological Action

Cefuroxime Axetil is a prodrug that is converted in the body into its active form, cefuroxime, after absorption. Cefuroxime acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Clavulanic Acid prevents the breakdown of cefuroxime by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain resistant bacteria. Together, they provide extended-spectrum antibacterial activity and improved clinical efficacy.

Indications

Famiclav Suspension is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate bacterial infections caused by susceptible and beta-lactamase-producing organisms, including:

• Upper and lower respiratory tract infections such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia

• Ear, nose, and throat infections including otitis media and pharyngitis

• Urinary tract infections

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Dental and other localized bacterial infections

• Other pediatric bacterial infections as prescribed by a physician

Dosage and Administration

• Children: Dosage is determined based on body weight, age, and severity of infection, as advised by a physician

• The suspension should be taken after meals to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort

Shake the bottle well before each use. Use a proper measuring device to ensure accurate dosing. Complete the full course of therapy as prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance.
