Roxirite 250mg Tablet (Cefuroxime) x10

Roxirite 250mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic containing cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin. This medication effectively treats various bacterial infections by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in susceptible bacteria. Roxirite offers broad-spectrum coverage against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.

Uses

Roxirite 250mg Tablet is prescribed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It’s commonly used for respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis and pneumonia.

How It Works

Cefuroxime, the active ingredient in Roxirite 250mg Tablet, works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to specific proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall. This binding prevents the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, a crucial step in cell wall formation. As a result, the bacterial cell wall weakens and eventually ruptures, leading to bacterial death.

Dosage

The typical adult dosage of Roxirite 250mg Tablet is one tablet taken twice daily, with or without food. However, the exact dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection. It’s crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better before finishing the medication.

Side Effects

While Roxirite is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, and headache. These effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Warning

Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions to cephalosporins, penicillins, or other antibiotics. Roxirite may cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Roxirite 250mg Tablet. While cefuroxime is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, your doctor will weigh the potential benefits against any risks before prescribing this medication.

Interaction

• May reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives
• Can interfere with certain laboratory tests, including glucose tests
• May increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulants
• Potential interaction with probenecid, increasing cefuroxime levels

Important Information

Always take Roxirite 250mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip doses or stop treatment early, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking to avoid potential interactions. Store the medication at room temperature, away from moisture and light.
