It belongs to the class of medicines known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. However, Suprax will not work for colds, flu, or other virus infections.Suprax is available only with your doctor's prescription.Suprax indicationssponsoredTo reduce the development of drug resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Suprax (Suprax) and other antibacterial drugs, Suprax should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antimicrobial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.Suprax (Suprax) is a cephalosporin antibacterial drug indicated in the treatment of adults and pediatric patients six months of age or older with the following infections when caused by susceptible isolates of the designated bacteria:Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections caused by Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis.Otitis Media Otitis Media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. (Efficacy for Streptococcus pyogenes in this organ system was studied in fewer than 10 infections.)Note: For patients with otitis media caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, overall response was approximately 10% lower for Suprax than for the comparator.Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. (Note: Penicillin is the usual drug of choice in the treatment of Streptococcus pyogenes infections. Suprax is generally effective in the eradication of Streptococcus pyogenes from the nasopharynx; however, data establishing the efficacy of Suprax in the subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever is not available.)Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.Uncomplicated Gonorrhea (cervical/urethral) Uncomplicated Gonorrhea (cervical/urethral) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (penicillinase-and non-penicillinase-producing isolates).How should I use Suprax?Use Suprax chewable tablets as directed by your doctor.
