Macpod 100 Oral Suspension contains cefpodoxime proxetil (100 mg), which acts within the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefpodoxime works by blocking enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) within bacterial cells. These PBPs play a crucial role in building up and reshaping the bacterial cell wall.
• Causes Bacterial Cell Death: By inhibiting PBPs, cefpodoxime weakens the protective layer of bacteria, leading to their disintegration and death.
• Resists Beta-lactamases: Cefpodoxime maintains its activity against many bacteria that produce beta-lactamases, enzymes used by bacteria to protect themselves against certain antibiotics. This stability expands its effectiveness against a variety of bacteria.

• Keep the Macpod 100 Oral Suspension in a refrigerator, between 2°C to 8°C.
• The dry powder should be stored at room temperature, not exceeding 30°C.
• Always ensure the medicine is out of your child's reach.

• Encouraging your child to drink plenty of fluids can help manage potential side effects like diarrhoea.
• If your child has a urinary tract infection, getting them to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods can assist in managing their symptoms.
