Specifications
Recofast 500, classified under the anti-infectives therapeutic class, is an antibiotic medication formulated with Cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Each film-coated tablet of Recofast 500 contains Cefuroxime Axetil USP equivalent to 500 mg of Cefuroxime. This antibiotic is effective against a broad range of bacteria and is utilized for treating various types of bacterial infections. Cefuroxime works by disrupting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the eventual death of the bacteria.
Recofast 500 (Cefuroxime 500 mg) is indicated for the treatment of several bacterial infections. These infections include those of the respiratory tract, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and infections of the ear, throat, and sinuses. Additionally, it is used in the treatment of Lyme disease and may be prescribed prophylactically in certain surgical procedures to prevent postoperative infections.
The dosage of Recofast 500 (Cefuroxime 500 mg) is determined based on the specific infection being treated, the severity of the condition, and patient factors such as age and renal function. For adults and children with normal kidney function, the common dosage is typically 250 mg to 500 mg taken orally twice daily.
It is important for patients to take Recofast 500 with food, as this enhances the absorption of the medication. Completing the full prescribed course is crucial, even if symptoms improve, to ensure thorough eradication of the infection and to prevent the development of resistance to the antibiotic.
Patients should maintain evenly spaced intervals between doses to keep a consistent level of the drug in the body. Those with impaired kidney function may require dosage adjustments, and any modifications to the treatment should be made under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Patients should be counseled on the importance of adhering to the prescribed dosage and treatment duration to achieve the best therapeutic outcome.
