Vantin (active ingredient: cefpodoxime proxetil) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Treatment of Infections: Vantin is used to treat various bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, including:

    • Respiratory tract infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and community-acquired pneumonia.
    • Genitourinary tract infections including cystitis, pyelonephritis, and gonorrhea.
    • Skin and skin structure infections.
    • Otitis media (middle ear infection).

Vantin belongs to the drug class known as cephalosporin antibiotics, specifically a third-generation cephalosporin, which works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the eventual death of the bacteria responsible for the infection.

Vantin (Cefpodoxime) comes in tablet form and is taken orally with food. Your healthcare provider will determine the exact dosage and duration of treatment based on the type and severity of the infection being treated, as well as your medical history. It is typically taken every 12 hours for 5 to 14 days. Take the medication at the same time(s) each day to maintain a consistent level of the drug in your system.

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Do not take more or less of Vantin or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. You should begin to feel better during the first few days of treatment. If your symptoms do not improve or get worse, call your doctor.

The recommended dosages of Cefpodoxime can vary depending on the age of the patient and the condition being treated. Generally,

  • For adults and teenagers 12 years of age and older, the recommended dosage is 200 milligrams (mg) taken orally every 12 hours.
  • For infants and children 2 months to 12 years of age, the recommended dosage is 5 mg/kg taken orally every 12 hours, with a maximum dose of 200mg per dose.

However, the exact dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your medical condition and history.
