Cefolac 200 Tablet

Cefolac 200 Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that belongs to the cephalosporin group of drugs. It is mainly prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, throat, ears, and soft tissues. The active ingredient, cefixime, works by preventing bacteria from forming protective cell walls, thereby killing them and stopping their growth. Doctors recommend Cefolac 200 Tablet for mild to moderate infections, including pneumonia, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, and certain urinary tract infections. It provides reliable antibacterial coverage and is often chosen when first-line antibiotics such as penicillin are unsuitable. For maximum benefit, the medicine must be taken at the prescribed dose and for the full duration advised by the doctor, even if symptoms improve early. This ensures complete elimination of bacteria and helps prevent resistance. Cefolac 200 Tablet should be taken with food or as directed by a healthcare professional to reduce stomach discomfort.
