About Podnex-200Mg Tab
Podnex-200Mg Tab 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. Podnex-200Mg Tab does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Podnex-200Mg Tab contains 'Cefpodoxime', which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Podnex-200Mg Tab works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (cell wall), which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, Podnex-200Mg Tab kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of bacterial infections.
In some cases, Podnex-200Mg Tab 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. Podnex-200Mg Tab 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.

Diarrhoea is the common side effect of Podnex-200Mg Tab . Drink lots of water and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you observe blood in stools (tarry stools) or have severe diarrhoea (vomiting or watery stool), immediately consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.
It is recommended to complete the course of Podnex-200Mg Tab even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic-resistance).
Podnex-200Mg Tab may cause stomach upset as a side effect. To avoid this, take Podnex-200Mg Tab preferably with food. Taking Podnex-200Mg Tab with food helps in increasing its absorption in the body.
Podnex-200Mg Tab may affect the results of urine tests for sugar and blood tests known as coomb’s test (antiglobulin test). Podnex-200Mg Tab induces a positive direct Coombs test giving a false positive test. Therefore, inform the person performing the tests that you are taking Podnex-200Mg Tab .
Do not take antacids and anti-ulcer medicines along with Podnex-200Mg Tab . Try to maintain at least a gap of 2-3 hours between both. However, consult your doctor before taking other medicines with Podnex-200Mg Tab .

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.
