Description
Gudcef-200 Tablet is a commonly prescribed antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, urinary tract, and skin. The active ingredient in Gudcef-200 is cefpodoxime, which works by destroying the protective covering of bacteria, thereby stopping their growth and clearing the infection. It is important to remember that Gudcef-200 Tablet works only for bacterial infections and will not help in viral illnesses such as the flu or common cold.
While taking Gudcef-200 Tablet, some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, or skin rashes. These effects are usually temporary and improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if the side effects persist or get worse, you should consult your doctor. Very rarely, allergic reactions may occur, which require immediate medical attention.
Before starting Gudcef-200 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney problems, liver issues, or bowel disorders such as colitis. This helps your doctor decide the correct dose for your condition. You should also avoid consuming alcohol while on this medicine, as it can increase the risk of side effects and may interfere with your recovery. Since the tablet can sometimes cause dizziness, it is best to be cautious when driving or operating machines.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, always consult your doctor before taking Gudcef-200 Tablet. Your doctor will decide if the benefits outweigh the risks in your case. Take the medicine in the exact dose and duration prescribed, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully treated and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Other medicines that contain cefpodoxime and work similarly to Gudcef-200 include Cepodem 200mg tablet, Monocef O 200mg tablet, Swich 200mg tablet, Doxcef 200mg tablet, and Zedocef 200mg tablet.
