Description

Cefpodoxime Proxetil USP is an orally administered, extended-spectrum, the semi-synthetic antibiotic of the cephalosporin class. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is a prodrug that is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and de-esterified to its active metabolite, cefpodoxime.

MECHANISM OF ACTION: Cefpodoxime, a third-generation semi-synthetic cephalosporin, exhibits activity against several gram-positive as well as gram negative microorganisms. This compound is also stable in beta lactamase environment. Cefpodoxime exhibits exceptional activity against methicillin susceptible staphylococci, streptococcs pneumonia, haemophilus influenza, nesseria spp, and moxaxella catarrhalis, which are referred to as most common hospital acquired and community acquired infections. Clavulanic acid is a natural inhibitor of beta-lactamase, which is produced by streptomyces clavuligerus. It binds to beta lactamase moieties and inactivates them, thus restricting the cefpodoxime destruction. Clavulanic acid has very little antimicrobial activity.
