**CEPODEM** is a brand name for cephodroxil, a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a range of bacterial infections. It is effective against infections such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, ear infections, and urinary tract infections. Cephodroxil works by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. This medication is typically administered orally in the form of tablets or suspension. It is important to take CEPODEM exactly as prescribed, usually every 12 hours, to ensure effectiveness and prevent resistance. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It should be used with caution in patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to penicillins or cephalosporins. Regular monitoring and completing the full course of treatment are essential for optimal results. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or adjusting the dosage.

Working Mechanism

Cephalosporin Class: CEPODEM belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls.
Bactericidal Effect: By interfering with the formation of the cell wall, it causes the bacteria to burst and die, thus treating the infection.

Adults: The typical dose for adults ranges from 200 mg to 400 mg twice a day, depending on the severity and type of infection.
Children: Dosage for children is usually based on their weight and the type of infection. The doctor will determine the appropriate dose.

Allergy: Inform your doctor if you are allergic to cephalosporins or penicillins.
Kidney Function: Those with kidney problems may need adjusted doses or monitoring during treatment.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Superinfection: Prolonged use may lead to superinfection (growth of non-susceptible organisms).
