More facts about Generic Vantin (Cefpodoxime 100 mg):

What is the drug marketed as Generic Vantin?

Generic Vantin is a collective name for all medicines that are created with the use of the same formula as the brand-name medicine Vantin. All of the available generics have their own registered official names but this term is used when a customer doesn’t know the trade name of the preparation but wants to buy a cheaper analog of the branded drug. It is very convenient but not in all countries the drug is even known under this brand name. The internationally approved and recognized name for the medication is Cefpodoxime. This name is familiar to all pharmacists around the world. You can either ask for Cefpodoxime or Generic Cefpodoxime – you will certainly get the right drug without any problems.

The medication is a semi synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic of the 3rd generation. It has a wide spectrum of bactericidal effect, i.e. it slows down the growth and replication of bacteria of different types. The medicine is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is prescribed for the treatment of such infectious and inflammatory conditions of the upper and the lower respiratory tract as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, acute sinusitis, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, exacerbation of chronic pneumonia, and others.

Is there any difference between Generic Vantin and the branded medication?

Generic medications are made under the license bought from the original drug developer and fully correspond to the original formula and effect to the initial medication. Moreover, the brand-name drugs are not usually the original medications. It is not rare for large pharmaceutical companies to buy the formula from the original drug developer and then advertise it as their own medication. Basically, there is no difference between the so-called generic medication and the widely advertised brand drug. Well, there is a single difference – brand drugs are more expensive than their generic counterparts.

Do people with liver or kidney dysfunction need dosage reductions?

The instruction doesn’t provide any advice on dosages for people with liver function problems. But since the medication is mainly excreted with urine, the dosage regimen for people with kidney problems is a bit different than for healthy people:
Some doctors recommend taking a half of the standard dosage to patients with the creatinine clearance below or equaling to 40 milliliters per minute. Others advise to take standard dosages for people with creatinine clearance less or equal to 29 milliliters per minute but with increased intervals – a new dose is taken 24 hours after the previous.

Before you buy Generic Cefpodoxime, you should be informed that if the drug use is accompanied with the therapy with other medications that render toxic effect on the kidneys, it is advised to control kidney function frequently. You should also be aware that the use of the antibiotic can lead to the development of dysbiosis (imbalance of the good and bad microbial flora in the intestines followed by unpleasant consequences such as flatulence, pains in the abdomen, diarrhea, and others) and superinfection (an infection that requires the use of other more potent antibiotics and is in general hard to treat).

These problems commonly occur if the treatment course duration is extended.

What processes are in the basis of Cefpodoxime effect?

Cefpodoxime oppresses transpeptidase and inhibits the biosynthesis of the mucopeptide of the bacterial cell wall. It is resistant to the action of beta-lactamases, enzymes that make bacteria resistant against antibiotics. The antibiotic does not break down in an acidic environment which makes it effective in the oral intake.
