Bacterial infections such as ear infections (otitis media), throat/tonsil infections, sinusitis, bronchitis/pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and skin/soft tissue infections (as prescribed).
How It Works
Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to bacterial cell death.
Directions for Use
Oral suspension (dry syrup): Reconstitute with boiled and cooled water up to the mark, shake well. Give the prescribed dose using a measuring cup/syringe, preferably with food. Shake well before each dose and complete the full course even if symptoms improve.
Use only for bacterial infections; not effective for viral illness. Avoid if allergic to cefpodoxime/cephalosporins; caution with penicillin allergy. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney disease. Prolonged use may cause superinfection; seek care for severe diarrhoea (possible C. difficile), severe rash, breathing difficulty, or facial swelling.
Drug Interactions
Antacids and H2 blockers (reduce absorption), probenecid (increases levels), anticoagulants like warfarin (may increase bleeding risk/INR), live bacterial vaccines (e.g., oral typhoid) may be less effective
