Evorox Cefuroxime Suspension 125mg/5ml 50ml – Antibiotic Treatment for Bacterial Infections in Children and Adults
Evorox Cefuroxime Suspension (125mg/5ml, 50ml) is an antibiotic medication containing cefuroxime, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia, bronchitis), skin infections, ear infections (otitis media), and urinary tract infections. Cefuroxime works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing them from forming cell walls, which are essential for their survival. This suspension is particularly suitable for children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets and is an effective option for treating bacterial infections in both pediatric and adult patients. The 125mg/5ml concentration ensures precise dosing, and the 50ml bottle is convenient for longer courses of treatment.
How to Use Evorox Suspension 125mg/5ml 50ml
Shake the bottle well before each use. The dosage is typically based on the patient's age, weight, and the severity of the infection. For children, follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider, usually based on their weight. For adults, the standard dose is 250mg to 500mg every 12 hours. The usual duration of treatment is 7-14 days, depending on the type and severity of the infection. Always use a proper measuring device to ensure accurate dosing. Complete the full course of antibiotics even if you start feeling better to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
Precautions
- Allergies: Inform your doctor if you are allergic to cephalosporins, penicillins, or any other antibiotics.
- Liver and Kidney Conditions: Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as cefuroxime passes into breast milk.
