About Delpocure 50 mg Syrup
Delpocure 50 mg Syrup belongs to the group of cephalosporin antibiotics used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lower respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Delpocure 50 mg Syrup does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Delpocure 50 mg Syrup contains 'Cefpodoxime', which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Delpocure 50 mg Syrup works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (cell wall), which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, Delpocure 50 mg Syrup kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of bacterial infections.
In some cases, Delpocure 50 mg Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea (watery or loose stool), abdominal pain, loss of appetite, bloating, skin rash and itching. 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.
Talk to your doctor if you have/had inflammation in the bowel, kidney or liver problems. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Delpocure 50 mg Syrup may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent unpleasant side effects. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Almost all antibacterial medications have been associated to reports of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), formerly known as pseudomembranous colitis. It can vary from mild diarrhoea to deadly colitis. Clindamycin and lincomycin are two of the most frequent offenders.
How to manage the interaction:
Antibiotics may cause Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), which may range from mild diarrhoea to fatal colitis. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C difficile, and surgical evaluation is advised.
The kidneys remove the majority of beta-lactam antibiotics as unaltered drugs and, in certain situations, as metabolites as well. In individuals with poor renal function, the blood concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics and their metabolites may rise and their half-lives may be prolonged. According to the particular product package labelling, dosage modifications may be required. These alterations should be based on the severity of the infection as well as the degree of renal impairment. Renal function tests should be carried out on a regular basis during extended and/or high-dose therapy since these medicines have occasionally been linked to nephrotoxicity and changes in renal function.
How to manage the interaction:
The serum concentration may be increased in patients with impaired kidney function. Dose adjustment may be necessary for patients with kidney dysfunction. Regular renal function tests are advised.
Certain cephalosporins have been associated with cases of hepatitis. There has also been a brief increase in the levels of AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase. Patients with hepatic problems should be treated with caution and under close observation when using these medications.
How to manage the interaction:
Caution and monitoring is recommended in patients with liver disorders.
It has been suggested that cephalosporins can cause seizures. In particular in patients with a history of epilepsy and/or where prescribed doses of cephalosporins were exceeded because of renal impairment, cephalosporins have been associated with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), encephalopathy, coma, asterixis, neuromuscular excitability, and myoclonia. Depending on the creatinine clearance, change the dosage. In individuals with known seizure disorders, anticonvulsant medication should be maintained. Patients should get a neurological exam to see if medication should be stopped if CNS side effects like seizures happen.
How to manage the interaction:
Cephalosporin antibiotics may trigger seizures. Dose adjustment may be needed.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness. They can target any body part and multiply very quickly. Symptoms include fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. But, people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines are more prone to bacterial infection.
