Cefuroxime axetil
Indication
Zinnat is used for treating bacterial infections (sinus, skin, lung, urinary tract, ear, and throat). It may also be used to treat Lyme disease and gonorrhea. Zinnat is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacteria's cell wall so that the wall ruptures, resulting in the death of the bacteria.
Instruction
Use Zinnat as directed by your doctor.
-
Take Zinnat by mouth with or without food.
-
Swallow Zinnat whole. Do not break, crush, or chew before swallowing.
-
Zinnat works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
-
To clear up your infection completely, take Zinnat for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
-
If you miss a dose of Zinnat, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose, and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
