About Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit

Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit is used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease caused by infection with a common type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Peptic ulcers are sores (small, shallow wounds) that develop on the intestine and stomach's inner lining.

Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit is a combination of three drugs, namely: Pantoprazole, amoxycillin, and clarithromycin. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Clarithromycin stops bacterial growth but does not necessarily kill them. Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Altogether, Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit helps treat peptic ulcer disease.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain, taste change, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit causes drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit should not be given to children as safety has not been established.

How Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit Works

Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit is a combination of three drugs, namely: Pantoprazole, amoxycillin, and clarithromycin. Amoxycillin is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival, thereby preventing bacterial growth. Clarithromycin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic; i.e., it stops bacterial growth but does not necessarily kill them. It works by inhibiting the protein synthesis required for bacterial cell growth. As a result, bacterial cells cannot reproduce or grow. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid in the stomach. Thereby reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Altogether, Captiva CA 750mg/40mg/500mg Kit helps treat peptic ulcer disease.
