Overview Prilox 200mg Tablet

Aloxan 200mg tablets combat bacterial infections. This antibiotic is effective against infections affecting the urinary tract, nasal passages, throat, skin, soft tissues, and lungs (including pneumonia). Its mechanism involves inhibiting bacterial growth, thus resolving the infection. Always adhere to your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. This medication can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve; avoid missed doses. Common side effects include nausea and stomach upset, usually temporary. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical consultation. Diarrhea is also possible, typically subsiding upon treatment completion; however, persistent diarrhea or bloody stools require immediate medical attention.
