Furotil Plus Tablet 125 mg + 31.25 mg is a combination antibiotic containing Cefuroxime Axetil and Clavulanic Acid. This formulation is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by combining a broad-spectrum antibiotic with an enzyme inhibitor that prevents bacterial resistance.

The addition of clavulanic acid helps protect cefuroxime from degradation by beta-lactamase–producing bacteria, thereby increasing its effectiveness.
