Description

Ofis (500Mg) is a prescription antibiotic capsule containing Cefadroxil, a first-generation cephalosporin, marketed by Continental Pharmaceuticals. It works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of harmful bacteria and helping the body clear the infection. Each pack contains 12 capsules, providing a complete treatment course for adults requiring a strong therapeutic dose against a range of bacterial infections.

Ingredients

Each capsule contains 500mg of Cefadroxil Monohydrate (equivalent to 500mg Cefadroxil), along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support capsule formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Ofis is available as an oral capsule, taken by mouth with a full glass of water. It should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.

Uses

Ofis is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, tonsillitis, respiratory tract infections, and skin infections. It is effective only against bacterial infections and is not intended for viral illnesses such as the common cold or flu.

How to Use

Take one capsule daily, or as prescribed by your doctor, ideally at the same time each day with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, though taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early, to ensure the infection is fully treated.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, or hives. Less commonly, more serious effects such as severe itching, skin rash with fever, nervousness, or sleeplessness may occur. Rare but serious effects can include kidney-related issues. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe or persistent.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Ofis, as its use during these periods should be carefully evaluated based on individual health needs.
