Introduction
Cefisat 50mg 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
Cefisat 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 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 Cefisat 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 Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received one. However, children should avoid getting vaccinated until they recover from the illness. After your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during extended treatment with Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup.
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 necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, this can be normal because 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 to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting a doctor.
Can Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?

Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup may cause more harm by killing both good and bad bacteria. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking this medication, do not stop the treatment course. Contact a doctor for further advice.
Can Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?

Cefisat 50mg Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7 to 14 days. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment.
