What is the work of Emtrim Tablet?
Emtrim is used to treat various bacterial infections. It is primarily indicated for:
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Including bladder and kidney infections.
- Respiratory Infections: Such as acute bronchitis and bacterial pneumonia.
- Gastrointestinal Infections: Effective against typhoid fever and shigellosis.
- Ear Infections: Often prescribed for middle ear infections (Otitis Media).
Emtrim Dosage for Adults
The standard dosage for adults and children over 12 years is two (2) tablets taken every 12 hours. For severe infections, your healthcare provider may adjust this dosage. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is completely cleared, even if you feel better after a few days.
Can Emtrim be used for Cough and Catarrh?
While Emtrim is an antibiotic, it only works against bacterial infections. If your cough or catarrh is caused by a virus (like the common cold or flu), Emtrim will not be effective. If you have a persistent cough with colored phlegm or fever, it may be a bacterial respiratory infection where Emtrim could be prescribed by a doctor.
