About Axipod Oral Drops

CEFPODOXIME PROXETIL belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called 'cephalosporins' used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lower respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. CEFPODOXIME PROXETIL does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

CEFPODOXIME PROXETIL contains 'Cefpodoxime Proxetil' which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and negative groups of bacteria. CEFPODOXIME PROXETIL works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (cell wall), which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, CEFPODOXIME PROXETIL kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of bacterial infections.
