The active ingredient in Zostum-O Tablet is cefditoren piroxil. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. This action prevents the growth and multiplication of bacteria, leading to their eventual destruction.

Here's how cefditoren works:

• Cefditoren interferes with a crucial step in bacterial cell wall formation.
• By blocking this step, it weakens the structure of bacterial cell walls.
• Weakened cell walls make bacteria vulnerable to damage from their environment.
• As a result, the bacteria are unable to survive or reproduce effectively.
• The immune system can then eliminate these weakened bacteria more easily.

• Store Zostum-O Tablet below 25°C in a cool and dry place.
• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.
• Keep the product out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day.
• Get plenty of rest and sleep to support your body's healing process.
• Practice good hygiene by washing your hands frequently to prevent the spread of bacteria.
