About Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's

Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called 'antibiotics' used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, and uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefixime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefixime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival, thereby, killing the bacteria and preventing the spread of infections. Clavulanic acid works by enhancing the activity of cefixime against bacteria and decreasing bacterial resistance. Together, Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's helps to treat bacterial infections.

The dose and duration of Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's can vary depending upon your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. 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.

Before starting Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Avoid taking Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent unpleasant side-effects. Hifen CV 200 mg Tablet 10's may cause decreased alertness, confusion, and unusual muscle stiffness or movements; so be cautious while driving.
