Cefpodoxime Proxetil 100 mg is an oral antibiotic used to treat selected bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. It belongs to the third-generation cephalosporin class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This action weakens susceptible bacteria and helps the body's immune system eliminate the infection. Depending on the diagnosis and local treatment guidelines, cefpodoxime may be prescribed for certain infections involving the throat, tonsils, sinuses, middle ear, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. The suitability of Cefpodoxime Proxetil 100 mg depends on the type of infection, the patient's age, medical history, kidney function, and the sensitivity of the bacteria involved. It should not be used for viral illnesses such as influenza or the common cold. Cefpodoxime Proxetil 100 mg may cause side effects such as nausea, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhoea. Patients with a history of allergy to cephalosporins or serious reactions to penicillin should inform their healthcare professional before starting treatment. People with kidney impairment may require dosage adjustments.
