Doxcef 200 Tablet 10

Doxcef 200 mg tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has shown efficacy in treating various bacterial infections affecting different body systems.

• Brain (meningitis): Meningitis is an infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Studies have shown that cefpodoxime proxetil, the active ingredient in Doxcef 200 mg tablet, can effectively treat meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Neisseria meningitidis.
• Lungs (pneumonia): Pneumonia is a respiratory infection that affects the lungs. Cefpodoxime proxetil is effective against common pathogens responsible for community-acquired pneumonia, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
• Ear: Acute otitis media is a common ear infection in children. Studies have shown that cefpodoxime proxetil can be used as a first-line therapy for treating acute otitis media in children, especially in cases where antibiotic resistance is a concern.
• Abdomen: Intra-abdominal infections, such as peritonitis and abscesses, are often caused by a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Cefpodoxime proxetil has been found to have activity against many of these bacteria, including Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
• Urinary tract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly caused by Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis. Cefpodoxime proxetil is effective against these bacteria and can be used to treat uncomplicated UTIs.
• Bones and joints: Osteomyelitis, a bacterial infection of the bone, and septic arthritis, an joint infection, require long-term antibiotic therapy. Cefpodoxime proxetil is effective against some common pathogens causing osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.
• Skin: Skin and soft tissue infections, such as cellulitis and impetigo, can be caused by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cefpodoxime proxetil has shown efficacy against many bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Escherichia coli.
• Blood: Septicemia, a severe bloodstream infection, requires prompt and adequate antibiotic therapy. Studies have shown that cefpodoxime proxetil can treat septicemia caused by susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
• Heart: Endocarditis is an infection of the heart's inner lining, typically caused by bacteria. Cefpodoxime proxetil is effective against some common pathogens causing endocarditis, including Streptococcus viridans and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
