Xitil 250
Form: Tablet
Strength: 250mg
Generic Name: Cefuroxime
Company: Ziska Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
MRP:৳ 25.0 (Tablet)
Is Antibiotic: Yes
Indications
Xitil 250 is used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to Xitil 250. This includes conditions like:
- Pharyngitis/Tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.
- Acute Bacterial Otitis Media caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis (beta-lactamase producing strains), or Streptococcus pyogenes.
Pharmacology
Xitil 250 contains Cefuroxime, a second-generation antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from making their cell walls. Xitil 250 works against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those that produce beta-lactamase.
Xitil 250 also contains Clavulanic acid, which blocks beta-lactamase enzymes. This helps protect Cefuroxime from being broken down, making Xitil 250 more effective in treating infections caused by bacteria resistant to some antibiotics.
