About Taxim-O CV 200 Tablet

Taxim-O CV 200 Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, and uncomplicated gonorrhoea. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before starting Taxim-O CV 200 Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take $ your name on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.
