Kast-Fix Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including those of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, nasal sinus, throat, and some sexually transmitted diseases. Kast-Fix Tablet should be given under the supervision of a doctor or health professional. Use it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor.

The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete the full course of this antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor.
