Cefpodoxime Proxetil 100 mg for Oral Suspension with Water

Some infections in children do not settle with a lower dose. Doctors step up to 100mg when the bacterial load is higher or the infection is more stubborn. RIQPOUD-DUO DS carries double the strength of the 50mg version. Same molecule, Cefpodoxime Proxetil. The same mechanism that breaks down the bacterial cell wall stops growth and clears infection. Better suited for moderate infections of the ear, throat, chest, sinuses, and urinary tract. Twice daily dosing. Give with food for proper absorption. Reconstitute with water before the first use. Always follow the paediatrician’s prescribed course.

Answer You Might Find Useful

Q1. When do doctors prescribe 100mg instead of 50mg Cefpodoxime? 

Answer. It depends on the child’s weight and infection severity. Heavier children or those with moderate infections often need the 100mg dose. Your child’s doctor decides the right strength.

Q2. My child feels better after 2 days. Can I stop the course? 

Answer. No. When you are feeling better, it does not mean the infection is fully cleared. The bacteria that are left behind can come back. They will be stronger. You should always complete the course of medicine as the doctor prescribed.
