Farotick CV

Farotick CV Tablets – Faropenem & Potassium Clavulanate Tablets

When resistant or severe bacterial infections require advanced oral beta-lactam therapy, Farotick CV Tablets by Grantham Lifesciences offer a potent combination of Faropenem Sodium Hydrate and Potassium Clavulanate. Each film-coated tablet contains Faropenem Sodium Hydrate JP equivalent to Faropenem 200 mg and Potassium Clavulanate Diluted IP equivalent to Clavulanic Acid 125 mg. Combining a penem-class antibiotic with a beta-lactamase inhibitor, this formulation provides enhanced bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of resistant pathogens under professional medical supervision.

Why Farotick CV Tablets Stand Out:

• Synergistic Dual Formulation: Combines Faropenem 200 mg (a broad-spectrum penem antibiotic) with Clavulanic Acid 125 mg (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) to overcome bacterial resistance mechanisms.

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effective against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacterial strains, including beta-lactamase-producing organisms.

• Oral Penem Therapy: Delivers high systemic efficacy in a convenient oral tablet dosage form.

• Convenient Packaging: Packaged as a 10x1x6 Strip (6 tablets per strip in a box of 10 strips) for structured dosage regimens.

• Marketed by Grantham Lifesciences: Manufactured and distributed according to stringent pharmaceutical quality standards.

Uses & Indications

Farotick CV Tablets may be prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, and tonsillopharyngitis.

• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Uncomplicated and complicated UTIs, including pyelonephritis.

• Gynecological Infections: Pelvic inflammatory conditions and obstetric/gynecological soft tissue infections.

• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Severe skin infections, cellulitis, or wound infections caused by susceptible pathogens.

• Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Infections: Recurrent or resistant otitis media and sinusitis.

Key Benefits

• Overcomes Bacterial Resistance: Clavulanic Acid protects Faropenem from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria.

• Potent Penem Antibiotic: Faropenem exhibits stable binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to strong bactericidal action.

• High Oral Bioavailability: Provides dependable drug levels in tissue and serum following oral administration.

• Convenient Oral Alternative: Serves as a reliable oral option for step-down therapy after parenteral antibiotic treatment.

Dosage & Administration

• Farotick CV Tablets should be taken strictly as prescribed by a Registered Medical Practitioner.

• Dosage: The exact dose, dosing frequency, and duration depend on the severity of the infection, organ function, and patient characteristics.

• Directions:

  • Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

  • Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.

  • Take preferably with or after meals to enhance absorption and reduce potential stomach discomfort.

  • Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early.
