PODELEVEN 200 is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. It contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil 200 mg, an advanced third-generation cephalosporin, formulated as a dispersible tablet for enhanced patient convenience and faster absorption.

Cefpodoxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby killing the bacteria and treating the infection at its root. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common side effects include:

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

• Abdominal pain

• Headache

• Rash

• Flatulence

Rare but serious side effects (seek medical attention immediately):

• Severe allergic reactions (swelling, rash, shortness of breath)

• Watery or bloody diarrhea (may indicate C. difficile infection)
