Exfaro 300 Tablet contains faropenem (300 mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Faropenem disrupts the creation of the bacterial cell wall by blocking penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These are essential for making peptidoglycan, a key component of the bacterial cell wall.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Faropenem acts against a wide range of bacteria including gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria.

• Resistance to Beta-lactamases: Faropenem remains effective even against many resistant bacteria that produce beta-lactamases which often make antibiotics less effective.

Remember though, faropenem has limited activity against specific bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant staphylococci, and enterococci.

• Store Exfaro 300 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature is below 25°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine in its original packaging.

• Keep it out of reach from children and pets.

• Use it before the expiry date mentioned on the package.

• If you have a urinary tract infection, increase your fluid intake. Drinking more water can help dilute your urine and ensure that you urinate more frequently, flushing bacteria out of your urinary system.

• For those managing lung infections like pneumonia, refrain from smoking. Smoking damages your lungs and can worsen your condition or delay recovery.
