Cepodem XP 325 tablets are an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, including the throat, lungs, ears, urinary tract, and skin. This medication combines cefpodoxime, which stops bacterial growth, and clavulanic acid, which enhances cefpodoxime's effectiveness. Take Cepodem XP 325 tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Continue taking the full course of medication even if you feel better, as stopping early may lead to treatment failure and the infection returning.
