Cepodem XP 325 Tablet (Cefpodoxime Proxetil)

Cepodem XP 325 Tablet

Cepodem Xp 325 Tablet is used for treating respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections. This medication is a combination of two Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic Acid.

This medicine treats the infections by not allowing the bacteria from growing further and getting spread. You should inform your doctor before taking this medicine if you suffer from any health condition and taking any medication for the same.

The treatment course must be completed as per the doctors prescription, even if you start to feel better. As sudden discontinuation of the treatment may affect the potency of the medication.

Antibiotics, for example, cefpodoxime won’t work for colds, influenza, or other viral diseases. Utilizing Antibiotics when they are not required builds your danger of getting contamination later that opposes anti-microbial treatment.

Overdosage/Toxicity: After acute overdose, most agents cause only nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, although neuromuscular hypersensitivity and seizures are possible, especially in patients with renal insufficiency; many beta-lactam antibiotics have the potential to cause neuromuscular hyperirritability or seizures.

Hemodialysis may be helpful to aid in the removal of the drug from the blood but not usually indicated, otherwise most treatment is supportive or symptom directed following GI decontamination

Work

Cepodem Xp 325 Tablet works as a bactericidal by binding to penicillin-binding proteins and inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. It also binds to beta-lactamase enzyme produced by bacterial cells, which in turn inhibits its enzymatic action and prevents beta-lactam antibiotics from being metabolised by the enzyme.
