Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets I.P. 500mg

Biotil-500 (Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets I.P. 500mg) contains Cefuroxime Axetil, a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. By preventing bacteria from forming a protective cell wall, Cefuroxime Axetil stops bacterial growth and helps the body eliminate the infection. This action makes it effective against a wide range of bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and ENT infections. By targeting the bacteria directly, Biotil-500 helps reduce symptoms such as fever, pain, swelling, and inflammation, supporting faster recovery and preventing complications.

Biotil-500 (Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets I.P. 500mg) is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections like bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and infections of the ears, nose, and throat (ENT). This medicine is especially useful when broader antibacterial coverage is required or when infections are caused by beta lactamase producing bacteria. By controlling bacterial growth, Biotil-500 helps relieve symptoms, improve daily comfort, and support complete recovery.

The dosage of Biotil-500 depends on the patient’s age, weight, infection type, and severity, and should be determined by a doctor. Typically, adults take one tablet twice daily, or as prescribed by their physician. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably after meals, and do not crush or chew it. Children’s doses are calculated based on body weight and infection type.
