Medical Description

Podofirst tablet is an antibiotic used for selected bacterial infections of the lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, urinary tract and skin. It contains cefpodoxime proxetil, which becomes active cefpodoxime after absorption. Cefpodoxime blocks the formation of the protective cell wall bacteria need to survive, so susceptible bacteria weaken and die. Podofirst tablet is taken by mouth with food as prescribed and does not treat viral illnesses such as colds or flu. It may be used in adults or children when a clinician selects it for the infection.

  • Urinary tract infections: Bacteria in the bladder or urinary system can cause discomfort and frequent urination; this medicine treats susceptible causes.
  • Skin and soft-tissue infections: Bacteria can infect the skin or tissues beneath it, causing redness, swelling or pain; this medicine helps clear susceptible infections.

How does this medicine work?

Cefpodoxime proxetil is converted into active cefpodoxime in the body. Cefpodoxime blocks bacterial cell-wall formation, causing susceptible bacteria to weaken and die. It does not work against viral illnesses such as colds or flu.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Podofirst tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, antacids and acid-reducing medicines such as aluminium hydroxide, ranitidine and omeprazole may lower cefpodoxime absorption; probenecid and other uricosuric medicines may raise its levels; warfarin and other blood thinners may increase bleeding risk; medicines affecting kidney function may increase unwanted effects; and live bacterial vaccines may work less well during antibiotic treatment.

Interactions with food items

Milk and other dairy products may reduce cefpodoxime absorption. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to separate dairy foods from Podofirst tablet while following the prescribed treatment.
