Cefixime + Clavulanic Acid is an antibiotic that is utilized to manage all kinds of bacterial infections in the urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, and uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Bacterial infections develop due to the growth of unhealthy bacteria within or on the body, respectively. Infectious or unhealthy bacteria can cause illness and multiply rapidly in your body. These disease-causing bacteria release harmful substances called toxins, which can destroy tissue and make you ill.
