Roxithromycin-RL
belongs to a group of medicines called macrolides.
It works by killing or stopping the growth of the bacteria
that are causing the infection.
However, Roxithromycin-RL does not have any effect on viral
infections such as the flu.
Roxithromycin-RL is used to treat various infections caused
by bacteria.
For example:
Acute pharyngitis (sore throat and discomfort when swallowing).
Tonsillitis.
Sinusitis.
Acute bronchitis (infection of the bronchi causing coughing).
Pneumonia (lung infection characterised by fever, malaise, headache).
Skin and soft tissue infections.
Non gonococcal urethritis.
Impetigo (bacterial infection causing sores on the skin).
Your doctor may have prescribed Roxithromycin-RL for another
reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about
why Roxithromycin-RL was prescribed for you.
