## What is Farotive 300 ER Tablet

Farotive 300 ER Tablet is an oral extended-release (ER) antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections. Each extended-release tablet contains Faropenem Sodium (300 mg), a beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the penem class.

Koye Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. manufactures this medication at a GMP-compliant facility. The active salt binds to penicillin-binding proteins, preventing bacterial cell wall synthesis and causing cell death (bactericidal activity). It is most commonly used to treat infections of the lower respiratory system (Bronchitis, Pneumonia), the urinary tract, the ears, nose, and throat, and gynecological infections.

The usual adult dose is one pill twice or thrice a day, depending on the condition being treated. If you missed a dose, take it as soon as you recall, but skip it if your next scheduled dose is near. An overdose can lead to severe seizures or a reduction in blood pressure, requiring immediate medical care.

Possible side effects of this Faropenem 300 mg extended-release tablet include Diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, and rash. Obtain emergency medical help instantly if you experience severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling or persistent Diarrhea.

This antibiotic medicine for bacterial infections should not be used by patients who are allergic to beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins, cephalosporins, or penems. Caution is advised in people with severe kidney problems, a history of Colitis, or previous serious allergic reactions. Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from moisture, light, and children.
