ZILAPRON is presented as an oral antibiotic medicine belonging to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics. Medicines in this class work by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which can stop the growth of certain bacteria. ZILAPRON is commonly used under medical supervision to help treat a range of mild to moderate bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (such as bronchitis, sinusitis and some ear infections), as well as uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections caused by bacteria that are known to be susceptible to this type of antibiotic. Usage should always be based on a healthcare professional’s diagnosis and prescription.

Active Ingredient(s) / Generic Name
The active ingredient in ZILAPRON is cefprozil, a second‑generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Dosage strengths for cefprozil products commonly available include 250 mg and 500 mg per oral dose, although the exact strength in ZILAPRON should be confirmed on the product label or with a pharmacist.
