Abacus (100Mg) 10 Tablets

ABACUS 100MG TAB

Description

ABACUS 100MG TAB contains Cefpodoxime 100mg as its active ingredient. Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. It works by stopping the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is necessary for bacteria to survive and multiply. Cefpodoxime blocks the activity of penicillin-binding proteins present in the bacterial cell wall. These proteins help in building and strengthening the bacterial wall. When this process is disturbed, the bacterial wall becomes weak, leading to bacterial breakdown and death.

ABACUS 100MG TAB is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Due to its broad antibacterial action, it may be prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, throat infections, and certain ear infections. This medicine should only be used for bacterial infections and is not effective for viral infections such as cold or flu.

In Case of Overdose

In case of an overdose of ABACUS 100MG TAB, seek medical advice immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and diarrhea. If you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose, do not wait for symptoms to become severe. Contact your doctor, pharmacist, or visit the nearest emergency department.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of ABACUS 100MG TAB, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosing schedule.

It is usually taken once or twice daily, depending on the infection and the patient’s condition. Complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better, because stopping early may cause the infection to return or become harder to treat.
