Composition

Cefpodoxime Proxetil (200 Mg)

Swich 200 Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections, including those affecting the lungs, throat, skin, soft tissues, and urinary tract. It is also effective in managing conditions like typhoid fever.

This cephalosporin antibiotic works by inhibiting the bacteria’s ability to form a protective cell wall, halting their growth and eliminating the infection. It is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu. Ensure the full course is completed for optimal infection control and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
