Cefpoderm (Cefpodoxime Proxetil) tablets are a veterinary antibiotic prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections in dogs and cats. The active ingredient, cefpodoxime proxetil, belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, which works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, ultimately causing bacterial cell death.
Cefpoderm is commonly used to treat infections such as skin infections (including pyoderma), urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and soft tissue infections. It is often recommended for bacterial infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, offering a broad-spectrum solution for a variety of conditions.
This medication is typically given orally, and the dosage is based on the pet's weight and the severity of the infection. Cefpoderm is usually well-tolerated by pets, though some may experience mild side effects like gastrointestinal upset. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
Always follow the veterinarian’s instructions on the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Consult a veterinarian if side effects occur or if the pet's condition does not improve.
