Mahacef CV 200 Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections of the throat, ears, sinuses, chest, urinary tract and skin. It is a combination antibiotic medicine containing cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin, and clavulanic acid, which helps cefixime work against bacteria that would otherwise resist it.
This medicine is also used to treat uncomplicated gonorrhoea and typhoid fever when prescribed. It works only against bacteria and will not treat viral infections such as colds or flu. Take it at evenly spaced times, preferably after food, and complete the full course prescribed by your doctor.
Resting and drinking plenty of fluids can support recovery. Taking antibiotics only when prescribed helps reduce antibiotic resistance.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to penicillin, cephalosporins or any other antibiotic, or if you have kidney or liver disease or a history of colitis, and about other medicines you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek medical help if you develop a severe rash, swelling of the face or throat, severe or watery diarrhoea, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
