Altacef 250 Tablet 10 contains cefuroxime (250 mg), which has the following effects on the body:

• Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefuroxime inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which is the protective layer surrounding bacteria.

• Deactivates Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs): Cefuroxime binds with PBPs, which are enzymes involved in forming cross-links between peptidoglycan strands that form the bacterial cell wall.

• Promotes Cell Lysis: By disrupting cell wall synthesis, cefuroxime prompts a process called cell lysis, which leads to the death of susceptible bacteria.

1. Store Altacef 250 Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• If you're taking Altacef 250 Tablet 10 for urinary tract infections, increasing your fluid intake can help flush bacteria out of your system. Opt for water or cranberry juice, which can inhibit bacterial growth.

• For respiratory tract infections, avoid exposure to smoke and air pollutants, as they can aggravate symptoms. Maintain good hygiene habits like washing hands frequently to reduce the risk of infection.
