Refzil O Tablet contains cefprozil (500 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefprozil targets and inactivates specific enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These proteins are essential for forming cell walls in bacteria.

• Causes Bacterial Cell Lysis: Once the PBPs are inactivated by cefprozil, the bacteria are unable to form their cell walls effectively. This causes the bacterial cells to rupture or 'lyse', resulting in death.

• Store Refzil O Tablet at a temperature not more than 30°C.

• Make sure the storage area is free from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect it from air.
