Overview

Pharmaniaga Xylid 250mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Cefuroxime axetil 250mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Pharmaniaga Xylid 250mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Pharmaniaga Xylid 250mg Tablet with food, as taking it with meals significantly improves how well cefuroxime axetil is absorbed into the body compared with taking it on an empty stomach. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it, as this can affect how the medicine is absorbed.

Dosage

The dose and duration of Pharmaniaga Xylid 250mg Tablet depend on the site and severity of the infection, but a common adult dose is 250mg to 500mg twice daily for 5-10 days. Always complete the full course exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve before the course is finished.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Antacids and acid-reducing medicines (e.g. proton pump inhibitors, H2-blockers) can reduce cefuroxime axetil absorption
