Zefāx-A LB Tablets

Bacterial infections can hit you hard and fast. One day you are fine, and the next you are dealing with a fever, body ache, throat pain, or a nagging urinary infection that just will not settle. The problem with bacterial infections is that they need the right antibiotic combination to be treated properly, one that not only kills the bacteria but also protects your gut in the process.

These tablets are manufactured by Arlak Biotech under the brand name Zefax-A LB, a trusted name in the pharmaceutical industry, known for producing quality-driven and effective medications.

These unique Cefixime, Azithromycin & Lactic Acid Bacillus tablets contain two broad-spectrum antibiotics & one probiotic that supports the good bacteria in the intestines, all packed into one tablet. Cefixime & azithromycin complement each other to target & control bacterial infections. This formulation with a single probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus) will help promote healthy digestion as you are on the antibiotics. This antibiotic combination tablet is used by doctors across India for the treatment of infections that have to be broad-spectrum, are effective, and are easily tolerated. The combination tablet is safe and effective in adult patients with bacterial infections.

How Do Cefixime Azithromycin Tablets for UTIs Work?

This tablet acts on 3 levels, and each component serves its own individual and unique function.

Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that causes a bacteria’s cell wall to be attacked and destroyed. When the cell wall is no longer there, the bacteria are no longer protected and do not survive, thereby being destroyed.

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that works by entering the cell and stopping it from producing protein that it requires to survive and multiply. The lack of protein means that the bacteria do not multiply, and therefore the infection is under control.

The lactic acid bacillus is a probiotic. Sometimes antibiotics kill off too many of the good bacteria in the stomach, causing loose stools or an upset stomach. Lactic acid bacillus replaces them and helps to keep the digestive system healthy while the antibiotics fight the infection. Together these 3 work as a complete system, which fights off infection, prevents it from spreading, and keeps the stomach safe.
