How it works
Cefaur 50 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 them 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 Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a larger dose of Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, immediately contact your doctor if you suspect your child has ingested an excessive amount of the medication. Overdose can lead to unintended side effects and may worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects associated with Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup?
Serious potential side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It is crucial to consult your child's doctor if these symptoms arise.
Can other medications be taken alongside Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup?
It's advisable to inform your doctor about any other medications or substances your child takes before starting Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup. They can offer guidance on appropriate medication interactions.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the composition of vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children recently vaccinated. However, it's crucial to consult your doctor before administering any medication to your child once they are fully recovered from the illness.
Which lab tests might be necessary during long-term Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup treatment?
Your doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests during extended use to monitor your child's condition.
My child has yellow-green mucus coming out of their nose. Is this a sign of bacterial infection?
Thick, yellow or green mucus in the nose is not necessarily indicative of needing antibiotics. During a common cold, the mucus often thickens and changes color. Symptoms usually last 7 to 10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections is ineffective and may even cause side effects without aiding your child's health. Always consult your doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Antibiotics can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in a child's gastrointestinal tract, leading to stomach upset. Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup might even further weaken the good bacteria in their gut and increase the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup, do not stop taking the medication immediately. Contact your doctor for guidance.
Can Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup contribute to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, incorrect treatment, repeated use of this medicine, and misuse can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria no longer respond to antibiotics, leading to reinfection.
How long should I take Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup?
Cefaur 50 Dry Syrup is typically prescribed for 7 to 14 days. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment.
