PETRODOXIM 200

Hot spots, pustules, or a smelly coat after a scratch? When your vet diagnoses a bacterial skin/soft-tissue infection, a once-daily cephalosporin helps control bacteria so your pet can heal comfortably.
What this product type does (dogs & cats, Rx only)
Cefpodoxime proxetil is a 3rd-gen cephalosporin antibiotic used for canine skin/soft-tissue infections (and vet-directed use in cats). It treats bacteria—not fungi/parasites/allergies—and must be part of your veterinarian’s plan.
How it works (simple science)
-
Beta-lactam antibiotic: blocks bacterial cell-wall synthesis → bacteria can’t grow/divide.
-
Prodrug becomes active cefpodoxime after absorption—once daily dosing supports compliance.
-
Dispersible tablet can be dissolved as your vet directs; may be given with food to reduce tummy upset.
