Medical Description

Zostum O 50DT tablet is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections of the lungs, throat and urinary tract. It contains cefditoren, which kills susceptible bacteria. Cefditoren works by stopping bacteria from building the protective cell wall they need to survive. Zostum O DT tablet is taken by mouth after being dissolved in water, with or after food. Use it only for the infection and duration prescribed by your doctor.

  • Bacterial throat infections: It treats certain susceptible bacteria affecting the throat and helps the infection settle.
  • Bacterial urinary tract infections: It can treat susceptible bacterial infections affecting the urinary tract when prescribed for this purpose.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine, cefditoren, other cephalosporins or penicillin-type antibiotics, do not take it. Tell your doctor if you have severe kidney disease, a history of serious antibiotic allergy, colitis after antibiotic use or problems digesting milk sugars, because the tablet may contain lactose.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Available information has not shown clear harm, but human data are limited. Use Zostum O 50DT tablet during pregnancy only when your doctor considers it necessary.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Available human information suggests that cefditoren does not enter breast milk in clinically important amounts and is unlikely to harm a breastfed infant. Ask your doctor before use and report rash or diarrhoea in the infant, particularly if treatment continues for a long period.

Driving

Driving

Whether Zostum O DT tablet affects driving is not known. Do not drive if you develop headache or any symptom that affects concentration or reaction, and ask your doctor if symptoms continue.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Alcohol has not been adequately studied with cefditoren. Ask your doctor before drinking alcohol during treatment.

Directions for Use

Dissolve Zostum O 50DT tablet in a glass of water before taking it. Take this medicine with or after food, exactly as prescribed. Do not chew or swallow the dispersible tablet whole unless your doctor gives different instructions. Complete the prescribed course and do not share it with another person.

Storage and disposal

Store Zostum O 50DT tablet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children. Do not use leftover tablets for a later illness and return unused medicine for safe disposal where available.

Quick Tips

  • Dissolve Zostum O DT tablet in water before taking it with or after food.
  • Complete the prescribed course even if you feel better, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
  • Do not use this medicine for a cold or influenza, because it does not treat viral infections.
  • Get emergency medical help for breathing difficulty or swelling of the face, lips or throat.
  • Tell your doctor about severe kidney disease or a previous serious allergy to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.

Dosage

Overdose

Taking too much may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or stomach discomfort. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Cefditoren prevents susceptible bacteria from forming a strong protective cell wall. Without this covering, the bacteria are damaged and die, allowing the infection to clear. It does not work against viral illnesses such as common colds or influenza.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Zostum O DT tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, tell your doctor if you are receiving purified Vi polysaccharide typhoid vaccine or inactivated cholera vaccine, because antibiotic treatment may affect vaccine planning. Also mention amikacin, kanamycin or streptomycin, because combining these medicines may increase the need for kidney monitoring.

Interactions with food items

Take Zostum O DT tablet with or after food, as food helps its absorption and may reduce stomach upset. No other specific food interaction is established.
