Xylid 250mg contains Cefuroxime Axetil, a versatile antibiotic used to treat a broad spectrum of bacterial infections. It is particularly effective for respiratory tract infections where common bacteria may be resistant to older antibiotics.

- Absorption Hack: Unlike some antibiotics, Cefuroxime Axetil is better absorbed when taken with food. Taking it immediately after a meal not only boosts its effectiveness but also protects your stomach from irritation.

- Pro-Tip: If you are taking antacids (to treat gastric), please inform your pharmacist. Antacids can reduce the stomach's acidity, which may interfere with how well Xylid is absorbed.

- Safety Note: If you have a known severe allergy to Penicillin, there is a small risk of cross-reactivity with Cephalosporins. Always inform your healthcare provider of your allergy history.
