Cefotil Plus 250

Cefotil Plus Tablet 250 mg/62.5 mg is a trusted combination antibiotic that contains Cefuroxime Axetil (250 mg) and Clavulanic Acid (62.5 mg). This powerful formulation is specifically designed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including those caused by resistant strains. By combining two active ingredients, it ensures a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect, making it an excellent choice for healthcare providers.

Cefuroxime Axetil is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which ultimately leads to the destruction of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, enhances the effectiveness of cefuroxime by neutralizing the enzymes produced by resistant bacteria that would otherwise degrade the antibiotic. This synergistic combination ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Therapeutic Uses

Cefotil Plus Tablet is highly effective against a range of bacterial infections, such as:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Including sinusitis, bronchitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Addressing infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Such as cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections.
• Ear Infections (Otitis Media): Common in both children and adults.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Offering relief from conditions like osteomyelitis.

Dosage and Administration

The tablet is usually taken twice daily after meals to enhance absorption and reduce potential gastrointestinal side effects. The precise dosage depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and overall health. Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider.
