About Biopod-O Tablet
Biopod-O Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs (pneumonia), sinus (sinusitis), bladder (cystitis), ear infections, etc. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Biopod-O Tablet does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu. Using antibiotics when they aren't required can make them not work (develop antibiotic resistance) for future contaminations.
Biopod-O Tablet is a combination of two antibiotic drugs: Ofloxacin and Cefpodoxime. Ofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase, which is required for DNA replication, transcription and repair. Cefpodoxime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (cell wall), which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, it kills the bacteria (bactericidal) and helps treat and prevent the spread of bacterial infections. Together, Biopod-O Tablet helps in treating bacterial infections.
Take Biopod-O Tablet with or without food. The dose and duration of Biopod-O Tablet can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as dizziness, pain in the lower legs, neck pain, stomach pain and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Before starting Biopod-O Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take Biopod-O Tablet on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor before taking Biopod-O Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Biopod-O Tablet as it may cause increased dizziness. Biopod-O Tablet is not recommended for use in children.
