I have enough information to give a thorough explanation. Here is a complete breakdown of the prescription:
Prescription Explanation - Mr. Sandip (15 July 2026)
Hospital: Seth R.V. Ayurvedic Hospital, Sion, Mumbai
Medicine 1 - Tab Cefhopim-CV (After Food) - 1-0-1 x 5 days
What it is: A combination antibiotic tablet containing Cefpodoxime Proxetil + Clavulanic Acid
- Cefpodoxime is a 3rd-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by blocking their cell wall synthesis
- Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor - it protects the antibiotic from being destroyed by resistant bacteria
- Together, they work against a broad range of bacterial infections (throat, chest, urinary tract, skin, etc.)
How to take: 1 tablet in the morning + 1 tablet at night, after eating food
Duration: 5 days - finish the entire course even if you feel better earlier
Medicine 2 - Tab Rabefly-D (Before Food) - 1-0-1 x 5 days
What it is: A combination tablet containing Rabeprazole + Domperidone
- Rabeprazole is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) - it strongly reduces stomach acid production, protecting the stomach lining from irritation
- Domperidone is a prokinetic - it helps food move faster through the stomach and prevents nausea/vomiting
- This is typically prescribed to protect the stomach from acidity caused by the antibiotic, and to prevent nausea
How to take: 1 tablet in the morning + 1 tablet at night, before eating food (30 minutes before meals for best effect)
Duration: 5 days
Medicine 3 - Tab Rutolin Plus (After Food) - 1-0-1 x 5 days
What it is: A combination enzyme + flavonoid tablet containing Trypsin + Chymotrypsin + Rutoside (Rutin) + Bromelain
- These are systemic proteolytic enzymes and anti-inflammatory agents
- They reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain - commonly prescribed after injury, surgery, dental procedures, or infections with tissue swelling
- Rutoside (from buckwheat) strengthens blood vessel walls and reduces fluid leakage into tissues
How to take: 1 tablet in the morning + 1 tablet at night, after eating food
Duration: 5 days
