Description

Ag-Drox 250mg/5ml Suspension is an antibiotic containing Cefadroxil, a cephalosporin medication designed to treat bacterial infections. It works by either killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth, effectively managing infections in various parts of the body. This suspension is easy to administer, especially for children or those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is used for treating respiratory, urinary tract, and skin infections but should not be used for viral infections such as the flu or common cold.

Functions

Cefadroxil, the active ingredient in Ag-Drox 250mg/5ml Suspension, disrupts the bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the breakdown of bacterial cells. This allows the body’s immune system to eliminate the bacteria. This antibiotic is commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. By eliminating the bacteria, it helps reduce the associated symptoms like pain, fever, swelling, and redness.

Precautions

Before taking Ag-Drox 250mg/5ml Suspension, it is important to inform your healthcare provider if you have any history of kidney issues, gastrointestinal problems, or allergies. Patients with asthma or hypersensitivity to penicillin should also take this medication with caution. Pregnant women should only use this medicine if absolutely necessary, after discussing the potential risks with their doctor. Always follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course of treatment to avoid bacterial resistance.

Side Effects

Some common side effects of Ag-Drox 250mg/5ml Suspension include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. More severe side effects, although rare, may include allergic reactions (such as skin rashes, difficulty breathing, or swelling), pseudomembranous colitis (inflammation of the colon), and hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells). If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Cautions

While using Ag-Drox Suspension, it is important to be mindful of certain factors. The medication may cause dizziness or confusion, so it is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery while taking it. Avoid alcohol during treatment as it can interfere with the medication’s effectiveness. If you have any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, consult your doctor before starting treatment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and avoid abrupt discontinuation of the medication.
