Overview
Zinnat 250mg Tablet contains cefuroxime (as cefuroxime axetil), a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, ear, throat, sinuses, skin, and urinary tract caused by susceptible bacteria.
Cefuroxime works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which weakens the wall and causes the bacteria to burst and die, clearing the infection.
How it Works
Zinnat binds to proteins in the bacterial cell wall that are needed for the wall to be built and maintained. This blocks proper wall formation, causing the bacterial cell to become unstable, rupture, and die.
Directions for Use
Swallow the tablet whole with food to improve absorption; do not crush or chew it.
Dosage
The dose and duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of infection and is determined by the treating doctor, typically taken twice daily with food for a course of several days.

Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
