Are Cefoprox 100 and Macpod 100 the same medicine?
Yes, Cefoprox 100 and Macpod 100 are essentially the same medicine. Both contain the exact same active ingredient, Cefpodoxime Proxetil (100 mg), which is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections of the ears, throat, lungs, and urinary tract. They work identically in the body. The only difference is that they are made by different manufacturers under different brand names. You can safely substitute one for the other, but please double-check with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure you have the correct formulation (tablet or syrup) and dosage.
