Clavulanic acid works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of cefpodoxime against the bacteria. Together, Proxtl-CV Mix Fruit Dry Syrup helps to treat bacterial infections. Proxtl-CV Mix Fruit Dry Syrup is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including beta-lactamase-producing strains.
