The active ingredient in Cefpoxim 100 Dry Syrup 30ml is cefpodoxime proxetil (100 mg). Here's how it works:

• Penicillin-Binding Proteins Inhibition: Cefpodoxime Proxetil targets specific enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) present inside the bacterial cell wall. PBPs are responsible for constructing and reshaping the cell wall during bacterial division.
• Peptidoglycan Chains Disruption: By inhibiting these PBPs, Cefpodoxime Proxetil disrupts the formation of peptidoglycan chains that provide strength and rigidity to the bacterial cell wall.
• Cell Lysis Induction: This disruption causes the bacterial cell wall to weaken and eventually break down, leading to a process called cell lysis, in which the bacteria break open and die.

1. Store the dry syrup powder at or below 25°C.
2. Once mixed with boiled and cooled water, keep it at room temperature or refrigerated.
3. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after use.
4. Keep it out of reach from children.
5. Use the Cefpoxim 100 Dry Syrup 30ml within 14 days of reconstitution and before its expiry date.

• Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. This helps prevent dehydration, which can occur if your child experiences diarrhoea, a possible side effect of antibiotics like Cefpoxim 100 Dry Syrup 30ml.
• Reduce your child's intake of sugary food and drinks. Sugar can feed bacteria, potentially making bacterial infections harder to manage.
