FAROALFA-300 SR TAB 10X6

About

FAROALFA-300 SR TAB contains Faropenem, a unique oral carbapenem antibiotic. Carbapenems are a highly potent class of beta-lactam antibiotics renowned for their exceptionally broad spectrum of activity against a wide array of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria, including many strains that exhibit multi-drug resistance. Faropenem exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, a critical structural component, ultimately leading to the lysis and death of bacterial cells. The "SR" (Sustained Release) formulation is designed to ensure a prolonged therapeutic effect, allowing for less frequent dosing and maintaining consistent, effective drug levels in the body over an extended period. This makes FAROALFA-300 SR a powerful and valuable option for treating serious and complicated bacterial infections, particularly in clinical situations where other antibiotics may be ineffective due to established resistance patterns. Its broad coverage makes it an excellent choice for empirical therapy when the causative pathogen is not yet definitively identified.
