Cefzil (active ingredient: cefprozil) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Bacterial Infections: Cefzil is used for the treatment of various bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of microorganisms, including:
    • Upper Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, and otitis media.
    • Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
    • Skin and Skin Structure Infections: Such as cellulitis and impetigo.

Cefzil belongs to a class of drugs known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, thereby preventing the growth and spread of bacteria responsible for causing infections.

Cefzil comes in the form of a tablet to be taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. You may take this medicine with food if stomach upset occurs. The dosage of Cefzil is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. In the case of children, the dosage is also based on their weight.

Follow your doctor’s instructions for proper dosing and administration. If you are uncertain about the dosage or have any questions or concerns, it is always best to consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
