Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Well, Cefpodoxime Pro is a medication composed of 'Cefpodoxime Proxetil', which is an orally administered, extended spectrum, semi-synthetic antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class.
It indicated for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains of microorganisms.
It appears that you could be having urinary tract infection and this antibiotic could help in overcoming the same.
If the infection does not subside even with taking the appropriate course of this prescribed antibiotic, it would be advisable to undergo the following test:
1. Urine for culture and sensitivity.
2. Urethral discharge culture and sensitivity.
3. Urine routine examination.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report for appropriate clinical evaluation and further management.
Also, it would be advisable to keep yourself well hydrated by consuming good quantity of fluids and increasing the intake of citrus fruits in your diet.
Hope the information given above would be helpful and shall help you to keep your health status better.
Kindly write to me in case you have further quires in this regard.
Get well soon and wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
