Hi
Yes,you can switch to the available drug which is cepodem.Both the drugs contain cefpodoxime antibiotic but belong to different brands.You can switch to cepodem due to non availability of the actual prescribed drug.This may not cause any major changes in the efficacy.You can watch for any allergic reactions on the first day of use and continue the drug without any issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
