How Does AMCADOP-100 Work?

AMCADOP-100 contains Cefpodoxime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. This weakens the cell wall of susceptible bacteria and helps stop their growth and survival.

Because AMCADOP-100 is an antibiotic, it does not work against viral infections such as the common cold or influenza.

AMCADOP-100 Dosage and Administration

The appropriate dose of AMCADOP-100 depends on the child’s age, body weight, type of infection, severity of infection and kidney function.

The medicine should be administered strictly according to the doctor’s prescription.

The dry syrup should be reconstituted with the specified quantity of sterile water before use. Follow the instructions provided on the product packaging or as directed by the healthcare professional.

Do not change the prescribed dose or stop the antibiotic treatment without consulting the doctor.
