I was feeling incredibly awful and sick. Saw the doc and got Rx for cefpodoxime. Pretty sure the illness has decided if it's going down... It's taking me with it. This medicine does not play when it comes to side effects. Blech

Are you still perplexed about the breakpoints for oral cephalosporins for systemic infections? Is cefpodoxime the answer to the clinical controversy? Session led by Jason Pogue

Ive never been a huge cefpodoxime fan. Not that I think it's wrong to do. Id just be more comfortable with cefixime. But, also TMP-SMX.

There was a total of 185 cefazolin-resistant Enterobacterales isolates. Among these isolates, 88 were cefazolin-resistant but ceftriaxone susceptible; susceptibilities to oral cephalosporins were as follows: cefuroxime (79, 90%), cefixime (81, 92%), cefpodoxime (62, 71%), and cefdinir (77, 88%).

The reliability of ceftriaxone for inferring susceptibility to higher-generation oral cephalosporins is unknown. Overall, ceftriaxone susceptibility predicted susceptibility to cefuroxime (89%), cefdinir (86%), cefpodoxime (90%), and cefixime (94%)…

I'd wager clinical cure with oral cefixime/cefpodoxime would not be different than IM ceftriaxone if we actually gave more than a single dose (e.g., maintain a similar time>MIC). No reason to think it doesn't get to the rectum and throat if dose/duration leads to favorable exposure
December 12, 2025 at 7:39 PM
Remind me again why we don't use oral cefixime (availability not withstanding) or cefpodoxime for gonorrhea? We preferentially rx chlamydia for 7 days now with doxy, so save me the single dose argument.

MIC creep ("reduced susceptibility" from 1.5 decades ago) is not a good answer! #IDSky #MedSky
December 12, 2025 at 3:27 PM
Increasing the single dose of a time dependent antibiotic feels like a losing strategy

Why not 3 days of cefixime or cefpodoxime?

No laws written that I know of that require single dose STI treatment. Plus we routinely do 7d for chlamydia now anyway. I think an oral regimen would increase access

Pivmecillinam is also considered a first-line option for empiric treatment of uUTI in nonpregnant women. Amoxicillin/clavulanate, cefpodoxime, and cefadroxil are second-line options.

#OTILT I learned that ciprofloxacin was found to be more effective than cefpodoxime for uncomplicated UTIs in this 2013 RCT. However, the cefpodoxime dose and duration were lower than what is recommended in Brigham’s guidelines, which may have impacted its effectiveness. @jeffpears0n.bsky.social

Stability and Efficacy: The Global Outlook for the Cefpodoxime Proxetil Tablets Market
The cefpodoxime proxetil tablets market continues to be a cornerstone of the anti-infective sector, providing a reliable oral option for a broad range of bacterial infections. As a third-generation cephalosporin, its stability against many beta-lactamase enzymes makes it an essential tool for treating respiratory and urinary tract infections in both adult and pediatric populations. Overview Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an oral prodrug that is converted in the body to its active form, cefpodoxime.
