In Treatment of Respiratory tract infection
Respiratory tract infections are those infections that can affect the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. Finecef CV Syrup contains two different medicines, Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid, that work together to kill the bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections.
