Cefpodoxime in CALPODD 200 works by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It binds to specific proteins (penicillin-binding proteins) inside the bacterial cell, preventing the bacteria from forming the protective wall they need to survive. Without this wall, the bacterial cell ruptures and dies.
Full Course:Always complete the entire course prescribed by your doctor, even if
symptoms disappear after a few days.
Allergies:Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Penicillin or other Cephalosporins.
Kidney Health:Dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with severe kidney
impairment.
Pregnancy/Nursing: Consult your physician; it is generally used only if clearly
needed.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose to catch up, as this increases the risk of side effects.
