Clavpod-325 Tablet

Clavpod-325 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic used to manage a wide range of bacterial infections, including those affecting the throat (such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis), ears (middle ear infections), sinuses, lungs (like pneumonia), skin, urinary tract, and certain sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea. It is also effective in treating anorectal infections in women. These infections occur when harmful bacteria multiply in the body, causing inflammation and illness, which can be effectively controlled with the use of antibiotics like Clavpod-325 Tablet.

This medicine contains two active components: Cefpodoxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, and Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Cefpodoxime acts by preventing bacteria from forming a protective cell wall, which is essential for their survival. Clavulanic Acid works by blocking bacterial enzymes that would otherwise render Cefpodoxime ineffective. By combining these two agents, Clavpod-325 Tablet is highly effective even against bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics.

You should take Clavpod-325 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may help reduce the chance of stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water without crushing or chewing it. Continue the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve early, as stopping the medication prematurely can lead to incomplete treatment and the return of the infection.

Common side effects may include diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, or vaginal irritation due to yeast infection. Most of these are temporary and resolve on their own, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Avoid alcohol while on this medication, as it may increase the risk of side effects. The tablet may cause dizziness in some individuals, so caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery.

Before starting Clavpod-325 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have allergies to antibiotics or if you have a history of kidney, liver, or gastrointestinal conditions like colitis. This medicine is not recommended for children under 8 years of age unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before starting this treatment.

Store Clavpod-325 Tablet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 25°C. Do not exceed the recommended dose. In case of accidental overdose, seek immediate medical attention, especially if symptoms like severe nausea, vomiting, or abdominal cramps occur.

For best results, maintain a healthy lifestyle and support your recovery with a balanced diet. Include probiotics such as curd, kefir, and fermented foods to support gut health during and after antibiotic treatment. Stay hydrated, eat fibre-rich foods like whole grains and vegetables, and avoid calcium-rich foods or grapefruit juice during the medication period, as they may interfere with antibiotic absorption.

Clavpod-325 Tablet is not habit-forming and belongs to the class of antibacterial agents used for systemic bacterial infections. It provides a broad-spectrum action and is suitable for managing infections caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including beta-lactamase-producing strains.
