Bludrox 250DT Tablet (Cefadroxil 250mg)

BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics. It is used to treat bacterial infections. It is used in the treatment of pharyngitis (sore throat), tonsillitis (swollen tonsils), bronchopneumonia (lung infection), urinary tract infections (infection of bladder or urethra), and skin and soft tissue infections.

Harmful & infectious bacteria can reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET contains cefadroxil, which is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills the bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. It doesn’t treat cold, flu, or other viral infections.

BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET is available for oral use in the form of tablet, capsule, or suspension. It should be used only when needed, and the course of therapy should be completed as prescribed by your doctor even when your symptoms improve. Abrupt stopping or irrational use (incorrect dose or self-medication) of antibiotics may cause ‘antibiotic resistance’, in which the bacterium doesn’t get killed by the antibiotic. Common side-effects of BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET are diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, glossitis (sore tongue), dyspepsia (indigestion), abdominal pain, skin rash, and itching. Some patients may experience ‘Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea (CDAD)’, a condition in which healthy bacteria in the colon (intestine) are disrupted.

Do not take BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET if you have a known allergy to cefadroxil, cephalosporin antibiotics, and penicillins. Cefadroxil present in BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET is a beta-lactam antibiotic that has a similar structure to penicillin. People allergic to penicillin may develop cross-sensitivity (sensitivity of one drug causes sensitivity to another drug that has a similar chemical structure. Inform your doctor if you are using any prescription and non-prescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products. Tell your doctor if you are previously diagnosed with any stomach or intestinal problems, especially colitis (inflammation of the inner lining of the colon (large intestine)), or kidney disease. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Bacterial infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and skin and soft tissue infections

BLUDROX 250MG DT TABLET belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics. It reduces the infection by inhibiting bacterial growth. It kills the bacteria by disrupting the formation of the cell wall. It irreversibly binds to the proteins in the bacteria that are essential for the formation of the cell membrane.
