Codimol 100 Orange Flavour Suspension 30ml

Codimol 100 Orange Flavour Suspension 30ml used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, commonly administered to children. This broad-spectrum antibiotic (containing Cefpodoxime) is effective against infections in the respiratory tract (like tonsillitis and bronchitis), urinary tract (UTIs), and various skin infections (such as cellulitis). It works by preventing the bacteria from building their protective cell wall, thereby killing them to manage infections safely in children and adults.

The active ingredient in Codimol 100 Orange Flavour Suspension 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 Codimol 100 Orange Flavour Suspension 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 Codimol 100 Orange Flavour Suspension 30ml.
• Reduce your child's intake of sugary food and drinks. Sugar can feed bacteria, potentially making bacterial infections harder to manage.
