Cefzlan 200 Tablet is an antibiotic formulation that contains cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin, which is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. Cefixime works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, thereby leading to the destruction of the bacteria. This makes Cefzlan 200 a reliable choice for treating various infections, including those affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and certain gastrointestinal infections.
Cefzlan is particularly indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections, otitis media, and community-acquired pneumonia, among other bacterial infections. Its broad spectrum of activity makes it a valuable option in cases where the specific bacterial pathogen has not been identified.
As with any medication, Cefzlan 200 Tablet may cause side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. In some cases, allergic reactions may occur, presenting as rashes or itching. More serious side effects, though rare, can include liver enzyme alterations and blood disorders. Patients should consult a healthcare professional if they experience unusual symptoms or if side effects persist.
To ensure optimal effectiveness and safety, proper storage of Cefzlan 200 Tablet is essential. It should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children. Always check the expiration date before use and discard any unused medication responsibly.
