Zocef 500 Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections of the chest, throat, sinuses, ears, urinary tract and skin. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing cefuroxime axetil, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called second-generation cephalosporins.
This medicine is used for infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis and bladder infections, as well as early Lyme disease. Take it after food so that it is absorbed properly, and complete the full course prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better early.
Resting and drinking enough fluids can help your body recover. Taking antibiotics only when prescribed helps reduce antibiotic resistance.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to penicillin, cephalosporins or any other antibiotic, or if you have kidney disease or a history of colitis, and about other medicines you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek medical help if you develop a severe rash, swelling of the face or throat, or severe or watery diarrhoea. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
