Clinical Overview

Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Potassium Clavulanate combines a third-generation cephalosporin with a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Clavulanic acid shields cefpodoxime from degradation by beta-lactamases produced by Staphylococcus aureus, H. influenzae, and enterobacteria. Indicated for community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute bacterial sinusitis, recurrent otitis media, and skin/soft tissue infections.

*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
