Farocin 200mg Strip Of 6 Tablets
Description
Farocin Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections, including those of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. It contains faropenem as its active ingredient.
This medication works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which serves as a protective outer layer. The absence of a cell wall leads to the death of bacterial cells. Take Farocin Tablet as prescribed by your doctor and complete the entire course, as stopping the treatment prematurely will result in treatment failure and recurrence of the infection. Before starting treatment with this medicine, inform your doctor about your complete medical history and any medications you are taking.
