Product introduction

PD Roxil 500mg Capsule may be taken with or without food. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor.

Before using it, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any antibiotics or have any kidney or liver problems.
