Description

Abacus 100mg is an oral tablet manufactured by Sami Pharmaceuticals, containing Cefpodoxime as its active ingredient. Supplied as 10 tablets per pack, it is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections affecting different parts of the body.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 100mg of Cefpodoxime (as Cefpodoxime Proxetil), combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the tablet’s formulation and consistent absorption once taken.

Dosage Form

Abacus is manufactured as an oral tablet, packaged 10 tablets per box, meant to be swallowed with a glass of water.

Uses

Abacus 100mg is used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, including sinusitis, bronchitis, and certain types of pneumonia, as well as urinary tract infections, ear infections such as otitis media, and skin infections. It may also be used for certain sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea, based on a doctor’s assessment. It works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall, ultimately stopping bacteria from surviving and spreading further in the body.

How to Use

Take Abacus exactly as prescribed by your physician, generally with food to help improve absorption and reduce stomach discomfort. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it. It’s important to complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve early, since stopping antibiotics too soon can allow the infection to return and may contribute to antibiotic resistance. Dosing frequency and duration will vary depending on the type and severity of infection being treated.

Side Effects

Commonly reported effects include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and headache. Some patients may notice a rash or mild digestive upset during treatment. Less commonly, more serious reactions such as severe allergic responses, persistent diarrhea, or signs of liver function changes have been reported, and any difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or severe skin reaction should be treated as a medical emergency. Anyone with a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillin-type antibiotics should inform their doctor before starting treatment.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Abacus should only be used during pregnancy if a physician determines it is clearly necessary, weighing the potential benefits against any possible risks. Its use during breastfeeding should also be discussed with a doctor, as small amounts may pass into breast milk. Pregnant or nursing individuals should seek medical guidance before starting this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Store Abacus tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until needed, and store them safely out of children’s reach. Do not use tablets beyond their expiry date.

FAQs

Why is it important to finish the full course of Abacus? Stopping early, even if symptoms improve, can allow surviving bacteria to cause a relapse and may contribute to antibiotic resistance over time.

Can Abacus be taken on an empty stomach? It’s generally recommended with food, as this can help improve absorption and reduce the chance of stomach upset.

Is Abacus safe for someone allergic to penicillin? Caution is needed, as cross-reactivity between penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics can occur; inform your doctor of any known drug allergies before starting treatment.

Can Abacus be used for viral infections like the common cold? No, it is only effective against bacterial infections and will not help with colds, flu, or other viral illnesses.
