Cefolac 200mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Cefolac 200 MG Description
Cefolac 200 tablet is an antibiotic medication that contains cefixime as its active component. It is used to treat bacterial infections in different parts of the body such as the urinary tract, lungs, throat, airways, tonsils, middle ear and cervical/urethral infections. It is also effective in the treatment of typhoid fever. The cefixime in Cefolac 200 works by obstructing the synthesis of the bacteria's cell wall, which ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria responsible for the infection.
It is important to take Cefolac 200 tablet as prescribed by your doctor, in the correct doses and for the exact duration as advised. Taking this medicine with food can help prevent stomach upset. It is crucial not to miss any doses or discontinue the treatment on your own. Completing the full course of antibiotics is necessary, as stopping the treatment by yourself may lead to antibiotic resistance and the recurrence of the infection, which can make the medicine less effective for future infections.
