Efdir 500mg Capsule

Efdir 500mg Capsule contains Cefdinir 500mg, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Made by Shrooq, it is prescribed for throat and tonsil infections, sinusitis, ear infections, chest infections and skin infections. Pack size: 10 capsules.

Uses of Efdir 500mg Capsule

Efdir 500mg Capsule is used to treat a range of mild to moderate bacterial infections. These include sore throat and tonsillitis, sinusitis, middle ear infections in children, bronchitis and pneumonia caught in the community, and uncomplicated skin infections. It is available as capsules and as a suspension for children. Like other antibiotics, it will not help colds, flu or other viral illnesses.

How Efdir 500mg Capsule works

Cefdinir belongs to the cephalosporin family. It prevents bacteria from completing their cell wall, so the cells become weak and burst. Because it is fairly stable against some of the enzymes bacteria use to resist antibiotics, it works against a broad range of common germs.

Possible side effects

Efdir 500mg Capsule is usually well tolerated. When side effects do occur, the most common are:

• Diarrhoea or loose stools
• Nausea
• Stomach pain
• Headache
• Vaginal itching or thrush
• Mild skin rash

Stop and get medical help for swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, a severe rash, or severe or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to penicillin, cephalosporins or any other antibiotic.
• Finish the full course your doctor prescribes, even if symptoms settle early.
• Iron supplements and antacids containing aluminium or magnesium can reduce how well it is absorbed, so ask your pharmacist how to space them.
• Taking it alongside iron or iron-fortified formula can turn stools reddish, which is harmless.
• Let your doctor know if you have kidney disease or a history of colitis, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
