Overview Altax-O 200 Tablet DT

Oxacin 200mg Delayed-Release Tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic indicated for various bacterial infections. These tablets effectively combat infections affecting the respiratory system (including pneumonia), urinary tract, ears, sinuses, throat, and certain sexually transmitted infections. Administration should always be under the guidance of a physician or qualified healthcare provider. Consistent dosing, at equally spaced intervals as directed, is crucial. Maintaining a regular daily schedule improves adherence. Dosage is determined by the specific infection being treated; however, completing the prescribed course is paramount. Premature cessation allows bacterial survival, potentially leading to relapse or intensified infection. This medication is ineffective against viral illnesses like influenza or the common cold. Unnecessary antibiotic use diminishes future efficacy. Commonly reported adverse effects include nausea, abdominal discomfort, dyspepsia, and diarrhea. While generally mild, persistent or bothersome symptoms warrant medical consultation. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any antibiotic allergies, kidney or liver conditions, and all other medications currently in use, as potential interactions exist. This medication is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation when prescribed and monitored by a physician.
