About cefpodoxime

What is cefpodoxime?
Cefpodoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of bacterial infections, including pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, skin infections, strep throat, ear infections, and certain urinary tract infections. It is not effective against viral illnesses, such as the flu or the common cold.

Although the brand name Vantin was previously available in the United States, it has since been discontinued. Cefpodoxime is now available only in its generic form. It comes as a 100 or 200 milligram oral tablet or a 50 milligram per 5 milliliters or 100 milligram per 5 milliliters oral suspension.

Cefpodoxime is typically used for short-term treatment and is prescribed based on the type and severity of the infection.

How to get cefpodoxime prescription online

If you’re experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection, seeking treatment online can be a fast and convenient option. Through Klarity, you can connect with a licensed provider who will evaluate your condition and determine whether cefpodoxime is the right antibiotic for you.

Steps to get a cefpodoxime prescription online:

  • Start a telehealth visit with a licensed clinician via video or secure messaging
  • Discuss your symptoms, duration, and any prior antibiotic use
  • If appropriate, receive an e-prescription for cefpodoxime
  • Pick up your medication at a local pharmacy or arrange for home delivery
  • Schedule follow-ups as needed to assess recovery or adjust treatment

Always complete the full course of antibiotics, even if symptoms improve early.

How does cefpodoxime compare to other medications?

Cefpodoxime is one of several antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. Here’s how it compares:

MedicationClassTypical UseProsCons
CefpodoximeCephalosporinRespiratory, skin, UTIBroad spectrum, well toleratedEffective against most, but not all, bacteria
AmoxicillinPenicillinRespiratory, dentalInexpensive, widely usedMay cause rash, more resistance
AzithromycinMacrolideRespiratory, STIsConvenient once-daily dosingGI upset, resistance risk
LevofloxacinFluoroquinoloneComplicated infectionsStrong, broad coverageRisk of tendon rupture, QT prolongation

Cefpodoxime may be preferable if you need a cephalosporin with good respiratory and urinary coverage. However, it may not be ideal for severe infections or those caused by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
