Question

Can Shifusu cefpodoxime proxetil granules be mixed with infant formula milk for feeding?

Answer

Shifusu cefpodoxime proxetil granules are used to treat inflammation but are not recommended to be mixed with formula milk for feeding. Mixing the two foods may lead to gastrointestinal upset in infants, including diarrhea, and may also destroy the nutritional components of the formula. If an infant shows signs of bacterial infection, it is suggested to administer the cefpodoxime proxetil granules with plain water instead of mixing them with milk, as this increases the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. After taking the medication, it is important to observe for any allergic reactions such as rashes.
