Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic for bacterial infections; the range is one tablet listing, Cefpodoxime tablets in 100mg and 200mg.
Cefpodoxime
100/200mg
Cefpodoxime 100mg and 200mg tablets, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic for bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, skin and urinary tract, in packs from 30 tablets.
Cephalosporins were first isolated from a mould and have been refined through several generations. Cefpodoxime belongs to the third, which gave the group sturdier activity against the gram-negative bacteria behind many urinary and respiratory infections. It is also stable against beta-lactamase, the enzyme some bacteria use to destroy older penicillins, so it can work on some bacteria that resist plain amoxicillin.
Like amoxicillin, it kills by attacking cell wall construction: it binds to the proteins that cross-link the wall, and bacteria with a faulty wall burst. Human cells have no such wall and are left alone.
The shop carries a single listing, Cefpodoxime tablets, in 100mg and 200mg. It is the proxetil version, which is converted to the active drug in the gut after it is swallowed. Its labelled uses cover infections of the respiratory tract, skin and urinary tract: sinusitis, tonsillitis and throat infections, ear infections, pneumonia, bronchitis flare-ups, skin infections such as impetigo, and uncomplicated bladder infections. Some gonorrhoea infections are another use.
Tablets work best with food, and are taken every 12 to 24 hours depending on the infection. Antacids and H2 blockers reduce how much cefpodoxime is absorbed, while probenecid pushes the level up. People with kidney disease clear the drug more slowly, and anyone with bowel conditions such as colitis should know that cephalosporins can set off severe diarrhoea.
A throat infection may be over in days; others need a longer course. Either way, finish it. A forgotten tablet goes down once you notice, unless the next is almost due, and the strips keep best dry and out of direct sun.
Allergy is the sharpest dividing line: a severe reaction to a penicillin or another cephalosporin points to a different antibiotic, because the two families share a core structure.
Loose stools and nausea are the most frequent, along with stomach pain, headache and thrush. The reactions that matter are an allergic rash with swelling or wheezing and persistent watery diarrhoea, particularly with fever, which needs urgent treatment and can follow a course by weeks.
Cefpodoxime can be ordered online with delivery to Hong Kong. The page lists Cefpodoxime tablets in 100mg and 200mg. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on an encrypted payment page, or by Bitcoin or Ethereum.
The price depends on the strength and pack size you choose. The Cefpodoxime page shows current prices in HKD or the currency you select.
PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order cefpodoxime. See the ordering FAQ for details.
Vantin is a brand name of cefpodoxime, which is also sold as Cepodem, Doxcef and Orelox. Here, cefpodoxime can be bought online as cefpodoxime tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
Cefpodoxime treats bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, skin and urinary tract, including throat, ear, chest and bladder infections. It has no effect on viral illnesses such as colds and flu.
No, cefpodoxime is a cephalosporin, a related but separate family of antibiotics. Both groups act on bacterial cell walls and share a core structure, which is why an allergy to one can sometimes carry over to the other.
Yes. Antacids and H2 blockers lower stomach acid, and less acid means less cefpodoxime absorbed. If you use either, take them a few hours away from the tablet, and take the tablet with food.
Both stop bacteria building cell walls. Amoxicillin is a penicillin taken every 8 or 12 hours, while cefpodoxime is a cephalosporin taken every 12 to 24 hours and resists some bacterial enzymes that break penicillins down.
