Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Cefimig Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children to treat bacterial infections targeting the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating uncomplicated typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Cefimig 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 Cefimig Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Cefimig Dry Syrup by mistake?
Taking extra Cefimig Dry Syrup is unlikely to be harmful. However, if you think your child has overdosed on Cefimig Dry Syrup, seek immediate medical attention. Overdose can cause unwanted side effects and potentially worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cefimig Dry Syrup?
Some possible serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult your child's doctor in case of such symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cefimig Dry Syrup?
Cefimig Dry Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Cefimig Dry Syrup. Also, consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefimig Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until their illness is fully resolved. After your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cefimig Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor might recommend periodic kidney and liver function tests during prolonged treatment with Cefimig Dry Syrup to monitor your child's condition.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not automatically indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, the mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last 7-10 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 may not be beneficial and could even lead to side effects. Only use antibiotics after consulting your child's doctor.
Can Cefimig Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children have sensitive stomachs, and using antibiotics can cause stomach upset. Antibiotics may also damage the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. This can increase the risk of developing other infections.
Can Cefimig Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, if Cefimig Dry Syrup is not used as prescribed or for its intended duration, or when there are repeated exposures and misuse. This can contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
How long should I take Cefimig Dry Syrup?
Cefimig Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. You must adhere to your doctor's instructions for the duration of treatment.
