ORPENEM CV TABLETS is a combination medicine containing Faropenem and Clavulanic acid. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. ORPENEM CV TABLETS is used in the treatment of several bacterial infections. ORPENEM CV TABLETS works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of beta-lactam antibiotics.
