Introduction
Cefixwell OF Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine designed to treat various bacterial infections in children, affecting areas such as the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bones, joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also effective in treating typhoid fever in children and adolescents. The medication contains two antibiotics, Cefixime and Ofloxacin, which work together to prevent bacterial growth and spread. It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to avoid bacterial resistance or recurrence of the infection. Common side effects are not listed, but any severe reactions like itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties should be reported to a doctor immediately.
Directions for Use
Administer Cefixwell OF Dry Syrup to your child as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve. Give the medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach.
How it works
Cefixwell OF Dry Syrup contains two antibiotics: Cefixime, which prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, and Ofloxacin, which interacts with the bacterial genetic material. This combination stops the growth and spread of infection-causing bacteria.
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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Cefixwell OF Dry Syrup as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Cefixwell OF Dry Syrup 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.
