Directions of Use
Always take Cefyz OF Tablet strictly according to your doctor's instructions. The usual dosage is once or twice daily.
Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this may alter its effectiveness.
It is generally recommended to take Cefyz OF Tablet with food. This helps to reduce the likelihood of stomach upset and can aid in the medication's absorption.
It is crucial to complete the entire course of Cefyz OF Tablet as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve before the course is finished. Stopping the medication too early can lead to the infection returning and potentially becoming more difficult to treat.
Avoid taking antacids (medications for indigestion or heartburn) at the same time as Cefyz OF Tablet, as they can significantly reduce its absorption. Maintain a gap of at least 2 hours between taking the antibiotic and any antacids.
Inform your doctor about your complete medical history, especially if you have kidney problems, before starting this medication. Also, mention all other medicines you are currently taking.
