Cefpozen 200 contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This medicine is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia. It may also be used for skin, urinary tract, and ear infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

Cefpodoxime Proxetil works by disrupting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. Without a functional cell wall, the bacteria cannot multiply and are ultimately destroyed. Cefpozen 200 is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. For best results, it should be taken for the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve, to prevent resistance or reinfection. This antibiotic helps in faster recovery by eliminating the root cause of bacterial infections.
