Zymocef 500 mg/125 mg Tablet contains Cefuroxime, combined with Clavulanic Acid, which forms an antibiotic regimen effective against a range of bacterial infections. This combination is particularly useful in treating conditions caused by bacteria like pneumonia, streptococcus pyogenes, streptococcus agalactia, and streptococcus bovis.

Cefuroxime operates by hindering the bacteria's ability to form cell walls, which are essential for their survival. This action effectively kills or stops the growth of bacteria.

Clavulanic Acid plays a supportive role by reducing the bacteria's resistance to antibiotics, thus enhancing the effectiveness of Cefuroxime.

It can be taken with or without food, but it's advised to take it at a consistent time each day for optimal results. It should be swallowed whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking it.

Some common side effects may occur, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and headache.

History of liver or kidney diseases should exercise caution and discuss their medical history with their doctor.

If you miss a dose of this medication, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule.
