Introduction
Ceffrench 50mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic commonly prescribed to children to combat various bacterial infections. It is effective against infections in the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. Additionally, it can be used to treat uncomplicated typhoid fever in children and adolescents. As with all antibiotics, it is crucial to complete the entire course to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again, becoming resistant, or causing another infection. This medicine should be given with food to avoid an upset stomach, and plenty of water should be encouraged if diarrhea develops as a side effect. It is important to note that this medicine should not be used for viral infections like the common cold or flu.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water if diarrhea develops.
How it works
Ceffrench 50mg Tablet DT works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall), which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. This stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, 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 Ceffrench 50mg Tablet DT 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.

Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any other medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ceffrench 50mg Tablet DT?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ceffrench 50mg Tablet DT on a long-term basis?

The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is common for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
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. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's doctor.
