How Does AMCADOP-50 Work?

AMCADOP-50 contains Cefpodoxime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefpodoxime works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. This weakens the cell wall of susceptible bacteria and inhibits bacterial growth, helping control the infection.

The appropriate dose of AMCADOP-50 depends on the child’s age, body weight, type and severity of infection, kidney function and other clinical factors.

The medicine should be administered exactly as prescribed by the doctor.

The dry syrup should be reconstituted with sterile water according to the instructions provided on the product packaging or by the healthcare professional.

Shake the reconstituted suspension well before each dose and administer the prescribed quantity using an appropriate measuring device.
