Cefpodoxime is an oral antibiotic belonging to the third generation of cephalosporins. It is effective in treating various bacterial infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, gonorrhea, skin infections, ear infections, sinus infections, throat infections, tonsillitis, and urinary tract infections. Cefpodoxime works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. It is active against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, but is not effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus, and Bacteroides fragilis. Cefpodoxime may cause side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, rash, itching, or swelling. It is available as a generic medication and is considered an affordable option for treating bacterial infections.
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold, such as watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. It can also be used to treat other allergies, such as those to molds and dust mites. Chlorpheniramine can make you sleepy and dizzy, so it is best to avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medication. You should also not take chlorpheniramine if you have narrow-angle glaucoma, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or an enlarged prostate.

Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is an analog of diclofenac and was patented in 1983 and approved for medical use in 1992. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting certain enzymes responsible for the formation of prostaglandin, which helps in relieving pain and reducing swelling. Long-term and high-dose usage of Aceclofenac can potentially cause kidney-related side effects. Aceclofenac is not the same as Ibuprofen or acetaminophen. It has marked anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and has been demonstrated to be an effective and superior analgesic in the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain.
Pheniramine is a first-generation antihistamine in the alkylamine class that is used to treat allergic conditions such as hay fever or urticaria. It has anticholinergic properties and may cause drowsiness or tachycardia. Pheniramine is available in oral and topical forms and is marketed under the trade names Avil and Visine-A. It is also commonly used in combination medications to relieve symptoms of the common cold, flu, allergies, or other breathing illnesses. Pheniramine is known to have sedative effects and may be used off-label as a sleeping pill. Over-dosage of Pheniramine may lead to sleep disorders. Overall, Pheniramine is a versatile medication that is effective in treating allergy symptoms but should be used carefully due to its potential side effects.
Oral suspension is a liquid preparation containing solid particles of one or more medicines that are dispersed throughout a liquid phase, intended for oral administration. It is important for certain oral suspensions to have a well-defined particle size specification for the drug substance. Examples of such suspensions include phenytoin, carbamazepine, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and hydrocortisone. Oral suspension is different from pharmaceutical syrup or solution, as the drug particles only get suspended in the liquid medium rather than completely dissolving. Children's Tylenol is one example of an oral suspension that reduces fevers and relieves pain in children aged 2 to 11.
