Gudcef 200 tablet is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, such as infections of the lungs, throat, airways, sinus, nose, ear, skin, and urinary tract infections. Its active ingredient is cefpodoxime. It kills the bacteria, improves your condition, and cures the infection.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of treatment with this medicine. It will vary depending on the severity of the infection and other individual parameters. It should be taken as directed by the doctor and in the doses and duration as prescribed.

Cepodem 200mg tablet, Monocef O 200mg tablet, Swich 200mg tablet, Doxcef 200mg tablet, and Zedocef 200mg tablet are a few more medicines that also include cefpodoxime as their main component.
