Glopod-CV

Cefpodoxime Proxetil, Potassium Clavulanate

  • Form: Tablets
  • Package: 10×6 Tablets

INTRODUCTION

Glopod-CV is a potent antibiotic combination designed to effectively combat a wide range of bacterial infections. This powerful formulation combines Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Potassium Clavulanate to provide enhanced antibacterial activity and overcome resistance mechanisms. Glopod-CV is ideal for treating various infections, ensuring rapid and effective relief. With the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, Glopod-CV offers a robust solution by combining the strengths of both its active ingredients. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic known for its broad-spectrum efficacy, while Potassium Clavulanate, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, ensures that the antibiotic remains effective against resistant bacteria. This unique combination makes Glopod-CV an essential option for healthcare providers in managing both common and complex infections, providing patients with a reliable and efficient treatment option.

COMPOSITION

Each tablet of Glopod-CV contains:

Cefpodoxime Proxetil: A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.

Potassium Clavulanate: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the efficacy of Cefpodoxime Proxetil by preventing bacterial resistance.

INDICATIONS

Glopod-CV is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Respiratory tract infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia)
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Skin and soft tissue infections
  • Ear infections (otitis media)
  • Sinus infections (sinusitis)

HOW IT WORKS

Glopod-CV works through a synergistic mechanism to effectively combat bacterial infections:

  • Cefpodoxime Proxetil: This antibiotic inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This binding disrupts the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which are essential components of the bacterial cell wall. The result is the weakening and eventual rupture of the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial cell death. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is effective against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
  • Potassium Clavulanate: This beta-lactamase inhibitor works by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. Beta-lactamase enzymes can deactivate antibiotics like Cefpodoxime Proxetil, rendering them ineffective. By inhibiting these enzymes, Potassium Clavulanate ensures that Cefpodoxime Proxetil retains its antibacterial activity, allowing it to effectively combat beta-lactamase producing bacteria. This combination allows Glopod-CV to target and eliminate a wider range of bacterial pathogens, including those that have developed resistance to other antibiotics.

SAFETY ADVICE

  • Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage as advised by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the prescribed amount.
  • Consultation: Consult your healthcare provider before using Glopod-CV if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any pre-existing medical conditions.
  • Allergies: Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience any allergic reactions or unusual symptoms.
  • Storage: Keep out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking. Glopod-CV may interact with:

  • Anticoagulants: May enhance the effects of blood-thinning medications; monitor closely.
  • Antacids: May reduce the absorption of Cefpodoxime Proxetil; take them at a different time of day.
  • Probenecid: May increase the levels of Cefpodoxime Proxetil in the blood; adjust dosage accordingly.

SIDE EFFECTS

While Glopod-CV is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:

  • Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach upset may occur.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rare cases of allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions.
  • Headache or Dizziness: Some individuals may experience mild headache or dizziness, usually temporary.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Temperature: Store Glopod-CV in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Moisture Protection: Keep the container tightly closed to protect the tablets from moisture and contamination.
  • Expiration: Do not use the product after the expiration date indicated on the packaging to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
