Cefpodoxime Proxetil, Sulbactam

Cefpodoxime Proxetil, Sulbactam is a combination medication used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to bacterial cell death. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the efficacy of Cefpodoxime Proxetil by neutralizing beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, making the antibiotic more effective against these strains.
This combination medication is typically prescribed for infections such as respiratory tract infections, ear infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure that the infection is fully eradicated and prevent antibiotic resistance.
