ZEP CR 300 MG – 10 TABLETS

ZEP CR 300 MG is formulated with Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, and skin infections. Its controlled-release mechanism allows for extended action, reducing the frequency of dosing while maintaining effective levels of the medication in the bloodstream. This makes ZEP CR an ideal choice for patients needing consistent and reliable treatment.

Usage Instructions:
Take ZEP CR 300 MG exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
The typical dosage is one tablet taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew.
Medicinal Advantages:
Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it suitable for treating multiple infections.
Controlled Release: The extended-release formulation provides sustained drug levels, enhancing efficacy and patient compliance.
Rapid Absorption: Ofloxacin is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, allowing for swift action against infections.
Mechanism of Action:
ZEP CR 300 MG works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes required for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By disrupting these processes, Ofloxacin effectively kills bacteria and halts the progression of infections.

Off-Label Uses:
While primarily indicated for bacterial infections, ZEP CR may also be used off-label for conditions such as chronic prostatitis or certain types of skin infections, as determined by a healthcare provider.

Expert Advice:
Complete the Course: Always complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication.
Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids while taking ZEP CR to help prevent crystallization in the urine.
Avoid Antacids: Do not take antacids or supplements containing calcium, magnesium, or iron within 2 hours of taking ZEP CR, as they can interfere with absorption.
Precautions:
Tendon Damage: Use with caution in individuals over 60 years of age or those taking corticosteroids, as Ofloxacin may increase the risk of tendon damage.
Seizure Disorders: Patients with a history of seizures should use ZEP CR cautiously, as fluoroquinolones may lower the seizure threshold.
Photosensitivity: Avoid excessive sunlight or tanning beds while taking this medication, as Ofloxacin can increase the risk of sunburn.
Storage Conditions:
Store ZEP CR 300 MG at room temperature, away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
