Is Droxyl Effective In Treating Infectious Matter In Back?

Hello Sir, I am feeling severe back pain, was prescribed pain killers. After 4 months I still had the same pain and suggested for an MRI scan, got to know that had infectious matter. And ESR count is 38mm/hr. Had been adviced to take Droxyl 500 from an orthopedist. So can you please tell me what is happening with my Spine and Droxyl works good for this kind of infection. Age : 24 Weight : 65 Regards, Anirudh

Hi,

Droxyl contains cefadroxil which is a cephalosporin group of antibiotic and it is a bactericidal drug. This means that the drug is highly effective in killing the bacteria. I would suggest you to continue the drug and review with your orthopedician for further management. Monitor your blood counts, ESR and MRI to assess the effectiveness of treatment and compare with your previous test results.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
