Medicine information
Uses & overview
Faropenem 200 mg combined with Potassium Clavulanate 125 mg is presented as an antibacterial combination for selected bacterial infections. Faropenem belongs to the penem class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis, helping eliminate susceptible bacteria. Clavulanate-related ingredients may have beta-lactamase-inhibiting properties, but the precise role and clinical suitability depend on the verified active ingredient and formulation. The approved uses, appropriate dose, and treatment duration must be established from the manufacturer's official product information and a qualified healthcare professional's assessment. Antibiotic selection depends on the type of infection, the suspected or confirmed bacteria, local resistance patterns, allergy history, and kidney function. Antibiotics are not effective against viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza. Take the medicine only as prescribed. Inform your doctor about previous antibiotic allergies, kidney or liver disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other medicines you use. Seek urgent medical attention if you develop breathing difficulties, facial swelling, a severe rash, or persistent severe diarrhoea.
