Brad Name | Propod-100 |
Composition | Cefpodoxime Proxetil 100 MG Tablets |
Propod 100 (Cefpodoxime Proxetil) is an orally administered, extended spectrum, semi-synthetic antibiotic of the cephalosporin class. It is a prodrug that is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and de-esterified to its active metabolite, cefpodoxime. It is active against a wide-spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes. As a result, many organisms resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins, due to their production of beta-lactamase, may be susceptible to cefpodoxime. The bactericidal activity of cefpodoxime results from its inhibition of cell wall synthesis.
Pharyngitis/tonsillitis : 100 mg every 12 hours for 10 days
Uncomplicated urinary tract infection : 100 mg every 12 hours for 7 days
Cefpodoxime Proxetil is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to cefpodoxime or to the cephalosporin group of antibiotics
