GENERIC: Cefpodoxime 40mg/5ml

MANUFACTURER: Bosch Pharma

QUANTITY

60ml suspension

INDICATION

Prelox Plus Syrup is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic suspension indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate bacterial infections in pediatric patients. It is prescribed for upper respiratory tract infections including pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and acute otitis media, lower respiratory tract infections including community-acquired pneumonia and acute bronchitis, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Cefpodoxime proxetil is an orally absorbed prodrug that is hydrolyzed to its active form in the gastrointestinal tract.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Cefpodoxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and disrupting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan cross-linking. This weakens the bacterial cell wall, leading to osmotic lysis and cell death. Cefpodoxime has a broad spectrum of activity against gram-positive organisms including Streptococcus pneumoniae and S. pyogenes, and gram-negative organisms including Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and E. coli.
