How It Works

Cefpodoxime, the active ingredient in Orelox Suspension, works by interfering with the cell wall synthesis of bacteria. This action prevents bacterial growth and ultimately leads to the death of the infectious organisms, helping to resolve the infection.

Dosage

The dosage of Orelox Suspension varies depending on the type and severity of infection, as well as the patient’s age and weight. Typically, it is taken twice daily. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for dosage and duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Less common side effects can include headache, dizziness, and skin rash. If any side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

Warning

Orelox Suspension should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporin antibiotics. It may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to penicillins. Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve early to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using Orelox Suspension. While cephalosporins are generally considered safe during pregnancy, individual assessment is necessary.

Interaction

• May interact with antacids, reducing the absorption of cefpodoxime
• Can affect the results of certain laboratory tests, including glucose tests
• May increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulants
• Potential interaction with probenecid, increasing cefpodoxime levels in the body
