Cefla Dry Syrup may interact with other substances or medications. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines being taken before starting Cefla Dry Syrup, and check with the doctor before giving additional medication to your child.

Which lab tests may be required for long-term use of Cefla Dry Syrup?

Bacterial infections rarely follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting the child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with the child's doctor.
