General Information on Cefpodoxime Proxetil (as an antibiotic):

Cefpodoxime Proxetil is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is used to treat various bacterial infections.

Common Uses (as prescribed by a pediatrician):

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Including pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and certain types of pneumonia.
• Ear Infections: Particularly acute otitis media, which is common in infants.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs).
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections.

Mechanism of Action:

It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which ultimately kills the bacteria.

Important Considerations:

• BRUTASTRONG™ Drops are an antibiotic and are only effective against bacterial infections. They will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu, viral fever).
• This medication should only be administered under the strict supervision and prescription of a pediatrician or qualified doctor. Accurate dosing is crucial for infants. Do not self-medicate or alter the prescribed dosage.
• Always complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if the infant seems to get better, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance and ensure complete eradication of the infection.
