Crafted with utmost care and pharmaceutical precision, METACEF 600mg contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil a potent third-generation, broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic specially formulated to effectively treat a wide range of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. Prescribed by veterinarians across India, METACEF 600mg delivers powerful, targeted, and fast-acting antibacterial action with the added convenience of once-daily oral dosing. With METACEF, you can trust that you are offering your furry companion nothing but the best in veterinary antibiotic care.

Ingredients:

METACEF 600mg TABLET contains the following active and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients:

  • Cefpodoxime Proxetil (600mg) Active Ingredient: The primary active ingredient in METACEF 600mg. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is a semisynthetic, orally administered, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic prodrug. Once absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, it is rapidly converted into its active metabolite Cefpodoxime which exerts powerful bactericidal activity by inhibiting and destroying bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the rapid death of susceptible bacteria. Cefpodoxime is highly effective against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus canis, Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Proteus mirabilis making METACEF 600mg a versatile and highly reliable antibiotic for the treatment of multiple bacterial infections in dogs and cats.
  • Excipients & Pharmaceutical Binders: Carefully selected inactive pharmaceutical grade excipients and binders are included in the formulation to ensure optimal tablet integrity, stability, consistent drug release, and maximum bioavailability of the active ingredient in your pet's system.

Features and Benefits

Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Action: METACEF 600mg delivers powerful broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage against a wide range of clinically significant gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Its third-generation cephalosporin formulation makes it particularly effective against bacteria that may be resistant to older or first-generation antibiotics providing a reliable treatment option even in challenging or recurrent bacterial infection cases.

Fast-Acting Relief Works Within 2 Hours: One of the key clinical advantages of METACEF 600mg is its rapid onset of action. Cefpodoxime begins working within as little as 2 hours of oral administration, offering your pet swift relief from the pain, discomfort, inflammation, and distress caused by active bacterial infections.

Convenient Once-Daily Dosing: Unlike many antibiotics that require multiple daily doses, METACEF 600mg is administered just once daily significantly simplifying your pet's medication routine, improving treatment compliance, and reducing stress for both you and your furry companion during the course of treatment.

Effectively Treats Skin Infections: METACEF 600mg is FDA-approved (for dogs) and the veterinary go-to antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial skin infections including pyoderma, wounds, abscesses, hot spots, and skin lesions caused by susceptible bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus the most common culprits of canine skin infections.

Treats Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Cefpodoxime is highly effective against E. coli and other gram-negative bacteria commonly responsible for urinary tract infections in dogs, making METACEF 600mg a trusted choice for the management of bacterial UTIs in canine patients under veterinary guidance.

Treats Respiratory Tract Infections: METACEF 600mg may be prescribed by veterinarians for the treatment of bacterial respiratory infections in dogs and cats, including infections involving the upper and lower respiratory tract caused by susceptible pathogens such as Pasteurella multocida and Streptococcus.

Effective Against Ear Infections: Bacterial ear infections (otitis externa) in dogs and cats caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative organisms may also be treated with Cefpodoxime under veterinary prescription, providing effective antibacterial resolution of this common and uncomfortable condition.

Well-Tolerated with Minimal Side Effects: Cefpodoxime is one of the best-tolerated veterinary antibiotics available, with side effects occurring in only 1–2% of patients. Most dogs and cats complete their full course of METACEF 600mg without any significant adverse reactions, making it a safe and reliable antibiotic choice for your beloved pet.

How quickly does METACEF 600mg start working?
