Cefpodoxime Proxetil + Dicloxacillin

Cefpodoxime Proxetil + Dicloxacillin is a powerful combination antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of harmful bacteria that cause infections in the throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, urinary tract, and other parts of the body. Cefpodoxime Proxetil helps kill bacteria by weakening their protective cell walls, while Dicloxacillin is effective against resistant bacteria, especially those that produce enzymes to block common antibiotics.
