Macpod Oral Drops contain Cefpodoxime Proxetil (25 MG), which works on your child's body as follows:

• Disrupts Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefpodoxime Proxetil inhibits the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer which forms the bacterial cell wall.

• Inactivates Penicillin-Binding Proteins: By binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins involved in cross-linkage of peptidoglycan polymers, it weakens the cell wall.

• Halts Infection Growth: The weakened cell wall causes the bacteria to burst due to osmotic pressure, effectively stopping the infection from growing and spreading in your child's body.

• Store Macpod Oral Drops in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Store at a

  temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• After shaking the bottle, ensure to close it tightly to avoid air exposure.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• Encourage your child to drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated can help manage urinary tract infections (UTIs), one of the conditions for which Macpod Oral Drops is prescribed.

• For children suffering from respiratory tract infections like bronchitis or pneumonia, ensure a diet rich in vitamin C. Foods like oranges, strawberries, and kiwi can boost immunity and aid in recovery.
