The standard adult dosage is typically one tablet (500 mg) twice daily, spaced 12 hours apart. However, the exact dose and duration depend on the severity and type of your infection. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor.

Q Should I take Vroxime-500 with or without food?

Q Why is it important to finish the entire course?

A.

Even if you start feeling better after 2 or 3 days, you must complete the full course of Vroxime-500. Stopping early can allow the strongest bacteria to survive, which may cause the infection to return and become harder to treat (antibiotic resistance).
