Cepodem XP 325 Tablet

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Cepodem XP 325 Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections. It belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and combines two active ingredients: Cefpodoxime Proxetil (200 mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125 mg). Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacteria by inhibiting their cell wall synthesis. Clavulanic Acid enhances the activity of Cefpodoxime Proxetil by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes that some bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. This combination makes Cepodem XP 325 Tablet particularly effective against infections that may otherwise be resistant to standard antibiotics.
