Purpose: To develop and validate specific and accurate UV spectrophotometric method of cefpodoxime proxetil by using different hydrotropic solubilizing agents.

Materials And Methods: The present study deals with spectrophotometric analysis of cefpodoxime proxetil by utilizing 4 different hydrotropic agents such as ammonium acetate (6 M), sodium citrate (1.25 M), sodium gycinate (1 M), sodium chloride (1 M), and urea (1 M).

Results: From different hydrotropic agents, urea showed best aqueous solubility of cefpodoxime proxetil. The linearity was observed in the concentration range of 10-120 μg/ml. The method was validated and found to be precise. Accuracy (percent recovery) for cefpodoxime proxetil was found to be 99.82 ± 0.106.

Conclusion: Urea as hydrotropic agent showed best aqueous solubility of cefpodoxime proxetil, which can be used as solubilizing agent. The proposed method is new, simple, safe, eco-friendly, economic, accurate, and cost-effective and can be successfully employed in routine analysis.

Background: No clinical trials have compared the efficacy and safety of beta-lactam antibiotics and fluoroquinolones in acute uncomplicated bacterial tonsillitis. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of co-amoxiclav (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid), cefpodoxime proxetil, and levofloxacin monotherapy in patients with acute uncomplicated bacterial tonsillitis.

Methods: This was a prospective, open-label, parallel-group study where 90 patients with acute uncomplicated bacterial tonsillitis were equally divided into three groups to receive either tablet co-amoxiclav 625 mg thrice daily, tablet cefpodoxime proxetil 200 mg twice daily, or tablet levofloxacin 500 mg once daily for five days.

Objectives: Antibiotics are the most commonly administered medications among pediatric patients. However most of the time, accurate dose administration to children becomes a problem due to the extremely bitter taste. Cefpodoxime proxetil (CP) and roxithromycin (ROX) are antibiotics often prescribed to the pediatric population and have a bitter taste.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) constitute the second most prevalent bacterial infections in the elderly demographic. The treatment landscape involves various antibiotics targeting the causative organisms; nevertheless, the emergence of resistance significantly impacts therapeutic effectiveness. Presently, a fixed-dose pharmaceutical combination is advocated to optimize patient outcomes by mitigating the risks of bacterial resistance and associated side effects.
