Swich 200 Tablet

Product Introduction

Swich 200 Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in the body. It effectively treats infections of the lungs (such as pneumonia), urinary tract, ear, nasal sinuses, and throat. The active ingredient in Swich 200 Tablet is Cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by killing bacteria responsible for causing the infection, thereby improving your symptoms and aiding recovery.

Swich 200 Tablet should be taken with food to ensure better absorption and reduce the chance of stomach upset. It should be taken regularly at evenly spaced intervals or as prescribed by your doctor. The exact dose and duration will depend on the type and severity of the infection.

You must complete the full course of treatment even if you start feeling better early. Stopping the medicine prematurely may allow the bacteria to survive, leading to the infection returning or becoming resistant to antibiotics.

Swich 200 Tablet is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu. Unnecessary use of antibiotics can make them less effective in the future.

How Swich 200 Tablet Works

Without the cell wall, bacteria cannot maintain their structure and eventually die. This helps stop the spread of infection and allows your body’s immune system to eliminate any remaining bacteria effectively.
