PRELOX PLUS SYRUP

Prelox Plus Syrup contains the active ingredient cefpodoxime, which belongs to the class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins. It is an oral suspension formulation used for the treatment of bacterial infections. Cefpodoxime works by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria, helping to eliminate the infection and promote recovery.

1. Respiratory Tract Infections: Prelox Plus Syrup is commonly prescribed for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis, caused by susceptible bacteria.
2. Ear Infections: It can be used to treat bacterial ear infections, such as otitis media (middle ear infection) or otitis externa (outer ear infection).
3. Urinary Tract Infections: Prelox Plus Syrup may be prescribed for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as cystitis or urethritis, caused by susceptible bacteria.
4. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: It can be used to treat certain types of skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

While Prelox Plus Syrup is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals. Common side effects may include:

1. Nausea and Vomiting: Some individuals may experience mild to moderate nausea or vomiting after taking Prelox Plus Syrup.

3. Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, Prelox Plus Syrup may cause allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction occur.

It is important to note that this list does not encompass all possible side effects. If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms while taking Prelox Plus Syrup, consult your healthcare provider.

When Not to Use:

Prelox Plus Syrup should not be used under the following circumstances:

1. Hypersensitivity: If you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to cefpodoxime or any other cephalosporin antibiotics, avoid using Prelox Plus Syrup.
2. Severe Allergic Reaction to Penicillin: Individuals who have experienced a severe allergic reaction (such as anaphylaxis) to penicillin antibiotics may have an increased risk of an allergic reaction to cephalosporin antibiotics. Use Prelox Plus Syrup with caution in such cases.
3. History of Jaundice or Liver Dysfunction: Prelox Plus Syrup should be used with caution in individuals with a history of jaundice or liver dysfunction, as it may affect liver function.
4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider before using Prelox Plus Syrup if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as the safety of cefpodoxime during pregnancy and lactation has not been established.
