Introduction
Cefdox CV Dry Syrup is a powerful antibiotic composed of Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid. It is prescribed for children to combat a variety of severe bacterial infections affecting the ear, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. The medication works by inhibiting bacterial growth, thereby preventing the spread of infection. It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to avoid bacterial resistance or recurrence of infection. Common side effects may include a bitter taste, and in rare cases, it may cause an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties, which require immediate medical attention.
Directions for Use
Administer the prescribed dose of Cefdox CV Dry Syrup to your child as directed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve.
How it works
Cefdox CV Dry Syrup combines Cefpodoxime Proxetil, an antibiotic that prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, and Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the antibiotic's effectiveness by reducing resistance.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Cefdox CV Dry Syrup may cause a bitter taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Cefdox CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else even if they show similar symptoms. Do not give Cefdox CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Stop Cefdox CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.
