Farostin-CV Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections. It is used to treat skin, throat, ear, nose, teeth, and lung infections caused by bacteria. It is also used in the treatment of urinary tract, gynaecological and genital infections. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. This bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Farostin-CV Tablet is effective in treating infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or common cold.

Farostin-CV Tablet is a combination medicine containing Faropenem (beta-lactam antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid. Faropenem works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of faropenem.
