About Aproxe-CA Suspension

Aproxe-CA Suspension belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat various bacterial infections such as pharyngitis/tonsillitis (throat infections), otitis media (ear infections), sinusitis (infection of the sinuses), community-acquired pneumonia, gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease), anorectal infections in women, skin, and urinary tract infections. 

Aproxe-CA Suspension is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefpodoxime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefpodoxime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria.

Take Aproxe-CA Suspension with food. The dose and duration of Aproxe-CA Suspension can vary depending upon your condition and severity of the infection. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Before starting Aproxe-CA Suspension, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take Aproxe-CA Suspension on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor before taking Aproxe-CA Suspension if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid taking Aproxe-CA Suspension if you are breastfeeding as Aproxe-CA Suspension may pass into breast milk. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Aproxe-CA Suspension to prevent unpleasant side-effects. Aproxe-CA Suspension may cause dizziness, so drive with caution.
