Product Description
Cefpo 200mg 14 Tablets is an oral third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic containing cefpodoxime proxetil, which is converted to active cefpodoxime in the body. Cefpodoxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to bacterial cell death. It is commonly prescribed for: Respiratory tract infections (e.g., acute sinusitis, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia) Skin and soft tissue infections Urinary tract infections (uncomplicated) Acute otitis media Other susceptible infections (e.g., gonorrhea in some cases) The tablets are film-coated for easier swallowing and the 14-tablet pack is typical for standard 7-day twice-daily courses or shorter regimens. It is often taken with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. Cefpo is a reliable choice for community-acquired infections, especially when penicillin resistance is a concern. Benefits: • Broad-spectrum coverage against common respiratory and skin pathogens • Good penetration into tissues and fluids (e.g., sinuses, middle ear, lungs) • Convenient twice-daily dosing in most cases • Well-tolerated with lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects than some antibiotics • Effective alternative for patients with certain penicillin allergies (cross-reactivity low but possible) How to Use: • Adults & children over 12 years: Dosage depends on infection – always follow doctor’s exact prescription (typical examples): Respiratory/skin infections: 200mg twice daily for 5–10 days Urinary tract infections: 100–200mg twice daily for 7 days Sinusitis: 200mg twice daily for 10 days • Take with food to enhance absorption and reduce stomach upset • Swallow whole with water – do not crush or chew • Complete the full course even if symptoms improve • Do not exceed the prescribed dosage or duration • Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, under 12 years, have kidney issues, history of cephalosporin/penicillin allergy, or taking other medicines
