Description

Adoxil 125mg/5ml Suspension, manufactured by Mega, contains Cefadroxil, an antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. This medication is used to treat bacterial infections in the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. Cefadroxil works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby stopping bacteria from growing or killing them. This medicine is effective for treating bacterial infections but does not work against viral infections such as the flu or common cold.

Functions

Cefadroxil, the active ingredient in Adoxil Suspension, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets a wide range of bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for infections like pneumonia, bronchitis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and skin infections. By disrupting bacterial growth, Cefadroxil helps alleviate symptoms such as fever, pain, and inflammation associated with bacterial infections. Adoxil Suspension is often preferred for pediatric patients or individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Precautions

Before using Adoxil 125mg/5ml Suspension, it’s essential to inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney disease, liver issues, or allergies, especially to penicillin or other cephalosporin antibiotics. People with gastrointestinal disturbances or asthma should use this medication cautiously. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking this medicine, as its safety during pregnancy is not fully established. Individuals with a history of allergic reactions to antibiotics should also be monitored closely during treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Adoxil include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, diarrhea, or stomach upset. Some patients may also experience skin rashes, allergic reactions, or signs of a more serious condition like pseudomembranous colitis (inflammation of the colon). Other side effects may include headache, dizziness, or changes in urine color. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Adoxil should be used with caution in individuals with liver or kidney disease, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. This antibiotic can cause dizziness or confusion in some patients, so it's advisable to avoid activities such as driving or operating heavy machinery while on the medication. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds, as Cefadroxil may increase sensitivity to UV rays. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be limited or avoided during treatment, as it may interact negatively with the medication. Always complete the prescribed course of treatment to prevent bacterial resistance, even if you feel better before finishing the entire dose.
