Zedoxil Suspension belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary system, and skin and soft tissues. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause illness.

Zedoxil Suspension contains cefadroxil, a new semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by preventing bacteria from forming their protective outer wall, leading to cell death. Thereby, it helps treat bacterial infections.

Take Zedoxil Suspension exactly as prescribed. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your infection. You may experience common side effects of Zedoxil Suspension, such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, a sore tongue, abdominal pain, dyspepsia (indigestion), a skin rash, and itching. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before taking Zedoxil Suspension, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, penicillin, cephalosporin, or other antibiotics. Also, let your doctor know if you have a history of kidney disease, asthma, or colitis (inflammation of the colon). Consult your doctor before using Zedoxil Suspension if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

• Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Zedoxil Suspension is effective for treating uncomplicated UTIs, such as cystitis (bladder infection) and pyelonephritis (kidney infection).
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (SSTIs): Zedoxil Suspension helps treat bacterial SSTIs like cellulitis (infection of the deeper skin layers), impetigo (outer skin infection), furunculosis (boils), and lymphadenitis (infection of lymph nodes).

• Zedoxil Suspension can be taken with or without food. However, if it causes stomach upset, take it with food.

It is used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and pneumonia), urinary tract (such as cystitis and pyelonephritis), and the skin and soft tissues (such as impetigo and cellulitis). It contains cefadroxil, a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from forming their protective outer wall, leading to cell death. Thereby, it helps treat bacterial infections. Zedoxil Suspension is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Do not take Zedoxil Suspension if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, penicillin, cephalosporin, or other antibiotics. Avoid taking Zedoxil Suspension on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. You may experience ‘Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD)’ after using Zedoxil Suspension, so inform your doctor if you have previously been diagnosed with gastrointestinal diseases (affecting the stomach or intestine), especially colitis (inflammation of the inner lining of the colon). Also, tell your doctor if you have a history of kidney disease, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. Consult your doctor before taking Zedoxil Suspension if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Zedoxil Suspension should be given to children only if prescribed by a doctor.
