Prescription Required.Why?

Cefuroxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamases, enzymes produced by bacteria that inactivate cefuroxime. This combination ensures that cefuroxime effectively reaches and kills the bacteria, even those that produce beta-lactamases.
