Sky EC Cef DP Tablets are veterinary prescription antibiotic tablets containing Cefpodoxime Proxetil, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulated for the effective treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. Available in 100 mg and 200 mg strengths, Cef DP Tablets offer broad-spectrum antibacterial activity with the convenience of once-daily dosing.
After oral administration, Cefpodoxime Proxetil is converted into its active form, Cefpodoxime, which works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to rapid elimination of susceptible bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of skin infections, wounds, abscesses, respiratory tract infections, urinary and genital tract infections, and gastrointestinal bacterial infections.
Its long half-life allows effective 24-hour therapeutic coverage, improving treatment compliance and clinical outcomes. The film-coated tablets provide improved stability, ease of administration, and better handling for pet owners.
