Hi,
Cepodem is safe for an 8-year-old child. It is being prescribed for cystitis since urine shows pus cells. you are giving a dose of 400 mg per day. If the weight is 40 kg then it's OK for the weight. If weight is 30 kg then give 3/4 tablet two times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
