Cepodem Xp 50 Dry Suspension 30ml contains two active ingredients:

• Cefpodoxime Proxetil (50 mg): This is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that battles bacteria by inhibiting their cell wall synthesis. It does this by binding to certain proteins within bacteria known as penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting their cell wall formation process. As a result, these bacterial cells become weak and ultimately lyse or break apart.

• Clavulanic Acid (31.25 mg): Clavulanic acid is the enzyme produced by certain bacteria that can break down and inactivate antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins. Clavulanic acid blocks the action of these beta-lactamase enzymes, thus preventing them from inactivating the antibiotic.

• Keep the reconstituted Cepodem Xp 50 Dry Suspension 30ml refrigerated at a temperature below 30°C.

• Ensure the bottle is kept tightly closed to prevent exposure to air.

• Store away from direct sunlight or high temperatures, as they might affect the medicine's effectiveness.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach and sight of children.

• To help manage infections, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. This helps flush bacteria from their body.

• Give probiotics to your child to help heal their gut flora. It might help restore the balance of the gut flora, which can be upset by antibiotic treatment and lead to stomach issues.
