Description: Product introduction Helicef 200mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in your body. It is effective in infections of the lungs (e.g., pneumonia), urinary tract, ear, nasal sinus, and throat. It kills bacteria, which helps to improve your symptoms. Helicef 200mg Tablet should be taken with food. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals or as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete a full course of treatment prescribed by your doctor.
