Uses & Benefits
Bacterial infections such as ear infection (otitis media), throat/tonsillitis, sinusitis, chest/lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin/soft tissue infections in children
How It Works
Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It works only against susceptible bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like common cold.
Directions for Use
Use as prescribed by the pediatrician. Measure the dose with the provided dropper; give at the same time each day. Usually given with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. If supplied as dry syrup/drops, reconstitute with boiled and cooled water up to the mark and shake well before each dose; complete the full course.
Do not use in patients with known allergy to cefpodoxime/cephalosporins; use caution in penicillin allergy (possible cross-reactivity). Use with caution in kidney impairment; dose adjustment may be needed. Persistent diarrhea may indicate antibiotic-associated colitis—seek medical help. Use only for bacterial infections and complete the prescribed course to reduce resistance.

Storage Instructions
Store at room temperature away from heat, light and moisture. After reconstitution (if applicable), store as per label (often refrigerated) and use within the recommended period; keep tightly closed and out of reach of children.
