Overview Cefolex 100mg Tablet DT

Duricef 100mg Delayed-Release Tablets are an antibacterial medication combating bacterial infections. Effective against infections in the respiratory system (pneumonia, for example), urinary tract, ears, sinuses, throat, and skin, it eradicates bacteria, alleviating symptoms and resolving the infection. Administer Duricef 100mg with food, consistently at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician. Maintaining a regular schedule enhances adherence. Dosage depends on your condition; however, always complete the prescribed course. Premature discontinuation may allow bacterial regrowth and infection recurrence.

Inform your physician of antibiotic allergies, kidney, or liver issues before use. Generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding under medical supervision, it may cause blurred vision, drowsiness, or dizziness. Refrain from driving if these symptoms arise.
