Ceftum 250mg Strip Of 4 Tablets
Ceftum 250 MG Description
Ceftum 250 tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections of various parts of the body. It contains Cefuroxime as its active ingredient. Cefuroxime is a higher antibiotic and belongs to the class of cephalosporins. Ceftum 250 tablet is effective against infection of the tonsils, throat, sinus, ears, respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues. It works by inhibiting the cell wall synthesis of bacteria, which ultimately causes the death of bacteria. You should avoid taking antibiotics for flu, cold and seasonal allergies as these diseases are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective against viruses. You should also avoid taking antibiotics when not required, as an excessive intake can make antibiotics ineffective for future infections. Also, refrain from using it for a prolonged time as it can also affect the good bacteria present in the body along with harmful bacteria.
