Cefolac DT 50 Tablet

Cefolac DT 50 Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that belongs to the cephalosporin group and contains cefixime as its active ingredient. It is mainly prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections affecting the throat, tonsils, ears, nose, sinuses, lungs, urinary tract, and skin. This dispersible tablet is especially convenient for children, as it can be dissolved in water, making it easy to swallow and more acceptable for pediatric patients. Cefolac DT 50 Tablet works by preventing the bacteria from forming a protective cell wall, thereby killing them and stopping their growth. It provides relief from symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, ear pain, or painful urination caused by infections. Doctors usually recommend this medicine when first-line antibiotics are not suitable or effective. To ensure complete recovery and prevent antibiotic resistance, the medicine must be taken exactly as prescribed and for the full course, even if symptoms improve early.
