Hypersensitivity.

Mode of actions

Cefpodoxime works by attaching to special proteins (called penicillin-binding proteins or PBPs) in bacteria. This blocks a key step needed to build the bacterial cell wall, which leads to the death of the bacteria.

Clavulanic acid is sometimes added because it can block certain enzymes (called beta-lactamases) made by some bacteria. These enzymes normally destroy antibiotics like Cefpodoxime. By combining clavulanic acid with Cefpodoxime, the medicine can kill more types of bacteria, including those that would normally resist Cefpodoxime and similar antibiotics.
