Cefdox-200MG DT Tab

Tablet

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (pharyngitis/tonsillitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), urinary tract infections, and skin/soft tissue infections.

Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to cell lysis and death of susceptible bacteria.

Dispersible tablet: dissolve the tablet in a small amount of water and consume immediately (or chew/swallow as advised). Usually taken with food to improve absorption. Use exactly as prescribed and complete the full course; do not stop early even if symptoms improve.

Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, rash, dizziness, indigestion

Prescription-only antibiotic; not effective for viral infections. Use with caution in patients with history of allergy to cephalosporins/penicillins (risk of hypersensitivity). May cause diarrhoea; seek medical help if severe/persistent or bloody (possible C. difficile colitis). Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney impairment. Inform doctor if you have history of colitis. Can rarely affect blood counts or liver enzymes; monitor if prolonged therapy.

Antacids or H2 blockers (reduced absorption), probenecid (increases cefpodoxime levels), warfarin/other anticoagulants (may increase bleeding risk/INR), oral live typhoid vaccine (reduced vaccine effect)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in original strip and out of reach of children.
