Description
💊🛡️DUAL DEFENSE AGAINST TOUGH INFECTIONS!
🧾 Introduction:
PODOCLAV™ Drops combine the power of Cefpodoxime Proxetil (200 mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125 mg), forming a broad-spectrum antibiotic formulation used in the treatment of bacterial infections in infants and young children. This potent combination works synergistically to combat a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, even those that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, which normally resist standard antibiotics.
This pediatric suspension is commonly prescribed by pediatricians for respiratory, urinary tract, skin, and ear infections.
🔬 Composition (per dose):
-
Cefpodoxime Proxetil – 200 mg
A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. -
Clavulanic Acid – 125 mg
A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Cefpodoxime from enzymatic breakdown by resistant bacteria, ensuring higher efficacy.
💡 Key Indications:
PODOCLAV™ Drops are used to treat:
-
Acute otitis media (ear infections)
-
Upper and lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, pneumonia)
-
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
-
Skin and soft tissue infections
-
Bacterial infections resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics
This dual-action combination is especially useful when standard antibiotics are ineffective due to resistance.
⚠️ Possible Side Effects:
Like all antibiotics, PODOCLAV™ Drops may cause:
-
Diarrhea or loose stools
-
Nausea and vomiting
-
Abdominal discomfort or gas
-
Rash or allergic reaction (itching, redness, swelling)
-
Yeast infections due to altered normal flora
-
Rare cases of liver enzyme elevation or jaundice
Serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are rare but require immediate medical attention.
✅ Precautions:
-
Do not use in children allergic to penicillins, cephalosporins, or beta-lactams.
-
Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve early to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Use with caution in children with kidney or liver disorders.
-
Always use under pediatric supervision — dosage depends on age and weight.
