Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as acute bacterial sinusitis, acute otitis media, community-acquired pneumonia/bronchitis exacerbations, urinary tract infections, and skin & soft tissue infections.
How It Works
Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefpodoxime from degradation by beta-lactamase–producing bacteria, improving coverage against resistant strains.
Directions for Use
Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually with food to reduce stomach upset and improve absorption. Swallow whole with water; do not stop early even if you feel better; complete the full course.
Use only for bacterial infections. Risk of allergy/hypersensitivity in patients with penicillin/cephalosporin allergy—seek help for rash, swelling, breathing difficulty. May cause diarrhoea; if severe/watery/bloody, consider C. difficile and consult doctor. Use with caution in kidney disease (dose adjustment may be needed) and in history of colitis. Prolonged use may cause superinfection. Can affect some lab tests (e.g., Coombs test).
Drug Interactions

Probenecid (may increase antibiotic levels), anticoagulants such as warfarin (may increase bleeding risk/INR), antacids/H2 blockers/PPIs (may reduce cefpodoxime absorption), live bacterial vaccines (e.g., oral typhoid) may have reduced effect, other nephrotoxic drugs (monitor in renal impairment)
