Description
Indications
Cefpodoxime belongs to a class of medications known as cephalosporin antibiotics, which are utilized to treat various bacterial infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, gonorrhea, and infections of the skin, ear, sinuses, throat, tonsils, and urinary tract. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
Uses and Dosage
Cefpodoxime can be taken orally as a tablet or suspension. The recommended dosage frequency is every 12 hours for a duration of 5 to 14 days, depending on the type of infection being treated. For gonorrhea, a single dose is usually sufficient. When taking the tablet, consume it with food, while the suspension can be taken with or without food.
Take cefpodoxime at the same time each day and adhere to the prescription label instructions carefully. Do not alter the dosage, increase or decrease it, or take it more often than instructed by your doctor.
Before use, shake the suspension well to ensure the medication is evenly distributed. Improvement in symptoms should be noticeable within the first few days of cefpodoxime treatment. Contact your doctor if your condition fails to improve or worsens.
Even if you start feeling better, continue to take cefpodoxime until you have finished the full course of medication prescribed by your doctor. If you discontinue the medication too soon or skip doses, your infection may not be completely eradicated, and bacteria may develop resistance to antibiotics.
