CETIL 500mg Tablet 10’s

CETIL 500mg Tablet contains Cefuroxime, a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the class of cephalosporins. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing or preventing the growth of bacteria.

CETIL is commonly prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, ear, skin, urinary tract, and soft tissue. It can also be used in treating sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Additionally, it may be used for Lyme disease and gonorrhea.

How It Works

Cefuroxime, the active ingredient in CETIL 500mg, works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall, leading to the rupture and death of the bacteria. Since bacteria rely on their cell walls for structure and survival, inhibiting the formation of these walls results in the bacteria’s inability to maintain their integrity, leading to their death.
