CEFPODOXIME-200MGOther bacterial intestinal infections
Severe
How does the disease interact with Fusoceff 200 Tablet 10's:
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.
CEFPODOXIME-200MGDisorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Fusoceff 200 Tablet 10's:
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.
CEFPODOXIME-200MGAbnormal serum enzyme levels
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Fusoceff 200 Tablet 10's:
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.
CEFPODOXIME-200MGEpilepsy
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Fusoceff 200 Tablet 10's:
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.
