Zostum-O 200 Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections of the chest, throat and skin, such as community-acquired pneumonia and flare-ups of chronic bronchitis. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing cefditoren pivoxil, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called third-generation cephalosporins.
This medicine is also used to treat bacterial tonsillitis, sore throat and uncomplicated skin infections. Take it with meals, which helps the body absorb it, and complete the full course prescribed by your doctor. It is meant for short courses only.
Resting and drinking plenty of fluids can support recovery. Taking antibiotics only when prescribed helps reduce antibiotic resistance.
Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to milk protein (caseinate), cephalosporins or penicillin, or if you have carnitine deficiency. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease or a history of colitis, and about other medicines you take, especially antacids or acid-reducing medicines. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you develop severe or watery diarrhoea, a widespread rash or swelling of the face or throat. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
