How does it work:

Farobact is an antibacterial drug that kills both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. It works by affecting the walls of cells, inhibiting them from absorbing protein which they need to survive and reproduce.

Farobact can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as sinusitis, otitis externa, lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infections such as tonsillitis, gynaecological infections such as adnexitis, and skin infections like nail inflammation and acne, as well as lymphangitis.

Dosage & Administration:

Farobact should always be taken as prescribed by your physician.

The typical dosage ranges from 150mg to 300mg, usually taken 3 times a day. However, the correct dosage will vary widely depending on the type of infection which is being treated, so it is important you never self-medicate or adjust your dosage by yourself.
