It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

Directions for Use

How it works
Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics like Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has fully recovered from the illness before receiving a vaccine.

Periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests may be prescribed by their doctor to monitor your child's condition while they are on long-term treatment with Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
A change in mucus color from clear to yellow or green does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics, as this is often a normal symptom during a common cold. If your child's symptoms persist for 7-10 days, consult with their doctor.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
Antibiotics are generally not prescribed for viral infections, which account for more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections. If your child's symptoms are caused by a virus, consult with their doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult with their doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Antibiotics like Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup can cause stomach upset in children and potentially disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on this medication, consult with their doctor for guidance.
Can Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of antibiotics like Cebest 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of resistant bacteria. Resistant bacteria may no longer be killed by the antibiotic, leading to reinfection.
