Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Cefpodoxime in Cedon Lb Dt Tablet works by controlling the growth of bacteria and killing them by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Lactic acid plays a key role in your body by providing energy, supporting glucose production, and acting as a signaling molecule. When your cells need extra energy—such as during intense physical activity—your body produces lactic acid to help fuel them. Later, your liver and kidneys convert this lactic acid into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, storing energy for future use. It also acts as a signal in your bloodstream, helping direct immune cells to sites of injury or infection to promote healing and defense.

Directions for Use

Cedon Lb Dt Tablet should be taken as directed by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water, after your meal to avoid stomach discomforts. Do not cut, break or chew the medicine. It would be best if you took it at a fixed time for optimal results. You should not consume it more than that prescribed by your doctor.
