REFZIL O 250 MG – 10 TABLETS

REFZIL O 250 MG contains Cefprozil, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death and clearing of the infection. Cefprozil is effective against a variety of bacteria, including those causing respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and ear infections. This antibiotic is well-tolerated and offers a convenient dosing schedule for effective treatment.

Usage Instructions:
Dosage: Take one tablet of REFZIL O 250 MG twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor.

Convenient Dosage: Typically administered twice daily, simplifying the treatment regimen.
Well-Tolerated: Generally well-absorbed and tolerated, minimizing side effects.

Mechanism of Action:
REFZIL O 250 MG (CEFPROZIL) works by disrupting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Cefprozil binds to specific proteins (penicillin-binding proteins) on the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting their function. This disruption leads to the breakdown of the cell wall, causing bacterial cell death and clearing the infection.

Off-Label Uses:
While primarily used for treating bacterial infections such as respiratory and skin infections, Cefprozil may also be prescribed off-label for other infections where traditional treatments have failed, or for patients with specific bacterial resistance profiles.

Complete the Course: Even if symptoms improve, complete the entire course to fully eradicate the infection.
Consult Healthcare Provider: If you experience any unusual side effects or symptoms, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
