Key Information
Short Description
Cefitrust-O Dry Syrup Orange is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections in children and adolescents.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
Cefitrust-O Dry Syrup Orange is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections that may affect your child's eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bone and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating 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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Cefitrust-O Dry Syrup Orange as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
How it works
Cefitrust-O Dry Syrup Orange contains two antibiotics. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) while ofloxacin directly interacts with the genetic material of bacteria. As a consequence, the infection-causing bacteria stop growing further and the spread of the infection is successfully arrested.
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. Do not give this medicine for common cold and flu as they are caused by viruses. Only give Cefitrust-O Dry Syrup Orange 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.
