How Duo-5 LS works

Duo-5 LS is a combination of two medicines: Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefpodoxime Proxetil against bacteria.

Quick Tips

  • You have been prescribed this combination medicine to treat bacterial infections even if they have developed resistance.
  • Take it with food and plenty of fluids to avoid an upset stomach.
  • Finish the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat.
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect. Taking probiotics along with Cepodem XP 325 Tablet may help. Talk to your doctor if you notice bloody stools or develop abdominal cramps.
  • Stop taking Cepodem XP 325 Tablet and inform your doctor immediately if you develop an itchy rash, swelling of the face, throat or tongue or breathing difficulties while taking it.

Mode of Action

Cefpodoxime binds to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death. Addition of clavulanate inhibits beta-lactamase-producing bacteria; Clavulanic acid has a high affinity for and binds to certain ?-lactamases that generally inactivate Cefpodoxime by hydrolyzing its ?-lactam ring. Combining clavulanate potassium with Cefpodoxime extends the antibacterial spectrum of Cefpodoxime to include many bacteria normally resistant to Cefpodoxime and other penicillins and cephalosporins.
