Lupicef O 200mg Tablet
Description
Lupicef O Tablet is an antibiotic medication that contains cefixime as its active ingredient. It is used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, including the urinary tract, lungs, throat, airways, tonsils, middle ear, and cervical/urethral infections. Additionally, it can be used to treat typhoid fever. The medication works by interfering with the synthesis of the cell wall of bacteria, which leads to the death of the bacteria responsible for the infection.
It is important to take Lupicef O Tablet as directed by your doctor and in the correct dosage and duration as prescribed. Do not miss any doses or stop taking this medicine on your own. It is essential to complete the full course of antibiotics, as discontinuing the treatment on your own can lead to antibiotic resistance and the recurrence of infection, making this medicine less effective for future infections.
