How to use Evodoxim tablet 100mg?
- The typical adult dose is 100mg to 200mg, taken twice daily with food to improve absorption.
- Treatment usually continues for 5 to 14 days depending on the infection.
- The doctor's full course should be completed, even if symptoms improve early, since stopping early can allow the infection to return.
- This medicine should always be taken under a doctor's prescription and supervision.
Drug Interactions
- Antacids and H2 blockers such as ranitidine: These reduce stomach acid and can lower cefpodoxime absorption.
- Probenecid: This can raise cefpodoxime blood levels by slowing its removal from the body.
- Oral contraceptives: Antibiotics may reduce their effectiveness in rare cases, so backup contraception is often advised.
Risks and warnings
- Penicillin allergy: Cross reaction with cephalosporins is possible, so caution is needed in patients with a known penicillin allergy.
- Kidney disease: Dose adjustment is often required in patients with reduced kidney function.
- Diarrhea: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, including C. difficile infection, has been reported and needs prompt medical review if severe.
