Cefdox DS Suspension contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil (80 mg/5 ml), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulated for pediatric and adult patients requiring a high-strength liquid dosage. It is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it suitable for treating respiratory, ear, throat, urinary, and skin infections.
Cefpodoxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which weakens and destroys bacteria, resulting in rapid infection control. The DS (Double Strength) suspension allows for accurate dosing with smaller volume, providing convenience and compliance for children and adults who prefer liquid formulations.
