What is Clavpod 325?
Clavpod containing the active ingredients cefpodoxime and potassium clavulanate is an antibiotic that specifically targets bacterial organisms and inhibits their functioning and preventing them from growing or reproducing. It is prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial infections but cannot be used to treat viral infections such as the flu or common cold.
How is Clavpod 325 used?
Clavpod 325 is usually taken orally 2 times per day or as directed by a doctor. The medication should be taken with a meal or snack along with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. Continue the medication until the prescribed amount is fully completed, even if the symptoms have disappeared, as abruptly stopping the treatment can allow the infection to return and the bacteria to become immune to the antibiotic.
