DESCRIPTION

Cefjone-400 Tablet is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections, and gonorrhea. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues and allergic reactions. 

INDICATION

• Urinary Tract Infection : Infections in any part of your urinary system (kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra) are called urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs are caused by bacteria and, in some cases, by viruses or fungi.  Cefjone-400 Tablet is used to treat urinary tract infections caused by bacteria.

• Gonorrhoea : Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoea bacteria that infects both men and women. It is caused by unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person.  Cefjone- 400 Tablet is used to treat Gonorrhoea.

• Pharyngitis/Tonsillitis : Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are infections that cause swelling and soreness in the throat and tonsils. If the infection affects both the throat and the tonsils, it is called pharyngotonsillitis.  Cefjone-400 Tablet is used to treat pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and/or pharyngotonsillitis.

• Acute bronchitis : Acute bronchitis is a condition in which the bronchial tubes that carry air to and from the lungs become inflamed. It causes narrowing of the airways leading to symptoms such as coughing and wheezing.  Cefjone- 400 Tablet is used to treat acute bronchitis caused by bacteria.

• Acute Otitis Media : Acute Otitis media (AOM) is an infection of the middle ear (the area behind the eardrum). Cefjone-400 Tablet is used to treat acute otitis media caused by bacteria.

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

Cefjone-400 Tablet combines Cefixime, an antibiotic Cefixime targets and kills pathogenic bacteria, while Lactic Acid Bacillus helps restore and maintain healthy gut flora. This combination reduces the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues by preserving normal intestinal flora. The dual-action approach enhances treatment efficacy and minimizes common side effects, leading to better patient compliance.
