Oratil 500 Tablet
Oratil 500 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth and spread of bacteria. Oratil 500 Tablet is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, certain sexually transmitted infections, and for the prevention of malaria in endemic regions. The higher strength makes it suitable for more severe infections or for use in adults requiring a larger therapeutic dose. Proper use under medical supervision ensures effective treatment while minimizing side effects and antibiotic resistance.
