CEFPOQUIZ 100 DT Tablets contain Cefpodoxime Proxetil, an orally administered third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections. After administration, Cefpodoxime Proxetil is converted in the body into its active form, Cefpodoxime. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis, weakening the bacterial cell wall and ultimately causing the destruction of susceptible bacteria. The dispersible formulation supports easier administration in children and patients who experience difficulty swallowing conventional tablets. CEFPOQUIZ 100 DT may be prescribed for bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, ear, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin, depending on the physician’s assessment.
