Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Zerapod 50 Dry Syrup. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Uses of Zerapod 50 Dry Syrup

  • Bacterial infection
  • Chest infection
  • Urinary infection
  • Ear
  • Throat infection
  • Typhoid

Benefits of Zerapod 50 Dry Syrup

In Bacterial infection
Zerapod kills a wide range of bacteria by breaking down their cell walls, bringing the infection under control. Finishing the full course prevents it coming back.
In Chest infection
Zerapod treats bacterial infections of the chest, easing the cough, fever and breathlessness as the bacteria are cleared.
In Urinary infection
Zerapod clears the bacteria behind burning, frequency and pain on passing urine.
In Ear and throat infection
Zerapod treats bacterial infections of the ear, throat and sinuses, relieving the pain and fever they cause.
In Typhoid
Zerapod kills the typhoid bacteria in the blood and gut, bringing down the fever and preventing the complications of untreated typhoid.

How Zerapod 50 Dry Syrup works

Cefpodoxime kills the bacteria causing your infection by destroying the cell wall that holds them together.

How to take Zerapod 50 Dry Syrup

Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it with or just after food. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and, rarely, fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Zerapod 50 Dry Syrup

Most side effects of Zerapod are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Loose motions
  • Nausea
  • Stomach pain
  • Rash
  • Thrush

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

KidneyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

LiverCAUTION

Warnings and precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe reaction to penicillin; a small proportion of people react to both groups. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.

Do not take Zerapod if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics.

Interactions with other medicines

Antacids, iron and zinc reduce absorption — separate them by a couple of hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner.
