FAQs

Cefzolide Tablet 10's is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefixime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and linezolid (oxazolidinone antibiotics). Cefixime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival, thereby, killing the bacteria, preventing the spread of infections. Linezolid works by stopping the growth of infection-causing bacteria.

Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

About Cefzolide Tablet 10's

Cefzolide Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called 'antibiotics' used to treat various bacterial infections of the ear, sinus, throat, lung, and urinary tract. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Cefzolide Tablet 10's does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Cefzolide Tablet 10's is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Cefixime (cephalosporin antibiotic) and linezolid (oxazolidinone antibiotics). Cefixime works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival, thereby, killing the bacteria preventing the spread of infections. Linezolid works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Together, Cefzolide Tablet 10's helps to treat bacterial infections.

The dose and duration of Cefzolide Tablet 10's can vary depending upon your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as stomach pain, headache, diarrhoea, dizziness, vomiting, itchy skin, flatulence. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
