Cefolac DT-100 Tablet

Product Introduction

Cefolac DT-100 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic medication belonging to the cephalosporin class, specifically the third generation of these antibiotics. The active ingredient in Cefolac DT-100 is Cefixime, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that effectively combats a wide array of bacterial infections. This antibiotic is particularly valuable due to its ability to resist degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes, which are produced by some bacteria to inactivate many penicillin-type antibiotics. Cefolac DT-100 is designed in a dispersible tablet form, making it easier to dissolve in water, ensuring better absorption and making it suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills. Manufactured with stringent quality control measures, Cefolac DT-100 is available in most pharmacies and is prescribed by healthcare providers based on the specific bacterial infection and patient needs.
