Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medication which treats bacterial infections of the lungs, ear, throat, sinuses and urinary tract. It contains cefpodoxime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills the infection-causing bacteria. This medicine is prescribed for conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, otitis media, strep throat and gonorrhoea.

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup should be taken as advised by your doctor. You may take this tablet with your meals at the same time every day. All antibiotic therapies should be completed and not stopped midway, even if you start to feel better. Try not to miss a dose, and avoid taking twice the amount to compensate for a missed dose.

Side effects of Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup are usually minor and should not be of any concern. As it is an antibiotic, gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhoea and vomiting are common. Your doctor may also prescribe an acidity-regulating medicine (PPI such as pantoprazole) to counter these side effects.

This medicine might be contraindicated (unsafe) for people with allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics. Always let your doctor know of any health conditions you might have, including phenylketonuria, impaired kidney function, and colitis. Generally, this medicine is considered safe for most people.

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup contains cefpodoxime, an antibiotic belonging to the group of medicines called cephalosporins. It is used to treat a large number of bacterial infections. This third-generation cephalosporin is a bactericidal virus which kills the susceptible bacteria that cause infections.

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup may be prescribed for infections of the ear (otitis media), throat (pharyngitis, tonsillitis), sinuses (sinusitis), lungs and airways (pneumonia, bronchitis) and urinary tract (cystitis urethritis). It is also used for people with sexually transmitted bacterial infections like gonorrhoea.

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup is highly effective against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, with the exception of a few strains such as Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacteroides fragilis.

Viral infections such as colds and flu do not respond to antibiotics like Cefpodoxime. Still, they might be prescribed to prevent a subsequent bacterial infection due to the viral infection worsening.

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup is a bactericidal medicine that belongs to a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins. It works by killing the susceptible bacteria by preventing them from making their cell wall.

Rbdon 100mg Dry Syrup contains cefpodoxime proxetil, which causes the death of bacteria by inhibiting their cell wall synthesis. For the bacteria to make its cell wall (which is essential for their survival), it needs to synthesise a substance called peptidoglycan. Cefpodoxime, contained within this tablet, binds itself with particular proteins called “penicillin-binding proteins”. When this happens, the bacteria are unable to make peptidoglycans. This results in the inhibition of cell wall synthesis and, ultimately, their death.

This third-generation cephalosporin is highly effective against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, with the exception of a few strains such as Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacteroides fragilis.
