Overview Altonin 100mg Tablet SR

Acricin 100mg Extended-Release tablets are a bacterial infection fighter. Prescribed for urinary tract infections, both treatment and prevention, this antibiotic eliminates the causative bacteria. However, it's ineffective against viral infections. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Taking it with food may mitigate nausea, a potential side effect. Consistent daily timing maximizes effectiveness. Complete the prescribed course, even with rapid symptom improvement; premature cessation risks infection recurrence or exacerbation. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are possible, usually transient and resolving as your body adapts. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical consultation. Urine discoloration (dark yellow or brown) is a harmless, expected occurrence. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or any antibiotic allergies.
