Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid

Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid is used to treat various bacterial infections such as throat infections, ear infections, infection of the sinuses, community-acquired pneumonia, gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease), anorectal infections in women, skin, and urinary tract infections.

Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid is a combination of two antibiotics, Cefpodoxime and Clavulanic acid. It works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival.

Take Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time.

Before starting Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy to any antibiotic or kidney or liver problems. Consult your doctor before taking Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Avoid taking Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid if you are breastfeeding, as Cefpodoxime+clavulanic Acid may pass into breast milk.
