What is Arrow-Roxithromycin (Roxithromycin) used for?

Arrow-Roxithromycin (Roxithromycin) is an oral macrolide antibiotic prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It operates by destroying or slowing the reproduction of bacterial cells allowing the immune system to eliminate the infection. This makes it useful for treating bacterial infections of the skin, soft tissues, urinary tract, or airways. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Arrow-Roxithromycin (Roxithromycin)?

Arrow-Roxithromycin (Roxithromycin) is normally prescribed to be taken twice daily at a dosage of one tablet for a cycle of medicine lasting one or two weeks, but your particular directions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These doses should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken with or without food, although a snack or meal is suggested before use if you get an upset stomach. Avoid crushing or splitting the medication prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Do not stop using the medicine before being instructed to by your doctor, even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared, as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment.
