Product introduction
Zifi CV 200 Tablet is an antibiotic combination that pairs Cefixime with Clavulanic Acid to treat infections caused by bacteria. The Clavulanic Acid component helps protect Cefixime from being broken down by resistant bacteria, which allows the antibiotic to work more effectively against tougher infections. It is available as a strip of 10 tablets and is dispensed only against a valid prescription. This tablet is generally prescribed for a fixed number of days, and the full course should be completed for the treatment to be effective.
Storage: Store below 25°C, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight
