Product Introduction:
AFOCEF 100 DT TABLET is an antibiotic medication that contains Cefixime as its active ingredient. This medication belongs to the cephalosporin class and is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. The “DT” in the product name stands for “Dispersible Tablet,” indicating that the tablet can be easily dispersed in water before consumption.
AFOCEF 100 DT TABLET should be given under the supervision of a doctor or health professional. Use it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Using it at the same time every day will help you remember to take it. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete the full course of this antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it until you have finished, even when you feel better. If you stop taking it early, some bacteria may survive and the infection may come back or worsen.
