Cefmic Dry Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in children. It is effective against infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, and urinary tract. Additionally, it is used to prevent infections from animal and human bite wounds and may be administered before surgical procedures as a preventive measure. While generally safe, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to avoid bacterial resistance. Consult a doctor if any severe side effects occur.
Directions for Use
Administer Cefmic Dry Syrup as prescribed by your child's doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve.
How it works
Cefmic Dry Syrup works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. This action stops the bacteria from growing and spreading, effectively treating the infection.

Do not use this medicine for viral infections like the common cold or flu. Only use Cefmic Dry Syrup for the current infection and do not save it for future illnesses.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cefmic Dry Syrup?
Cefmic Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Cefmic Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefmic Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cefmic Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
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 to treat viral infections may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Hence, you must give antibiotics to your child only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Cefmic Dry Syrup impact my child's digestion?
Antibiotics kill the infection-causing bacteria, but they may also affect the good bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, your child may develop diarrhea or other infections. If your child is having diarrhea while on Cefmic Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, consult your child's doctor for further guidance.
How long does Cefmic Dry Syrup take to work?
The amount of time Cefmic Dry Syrup takes to work depends on the type of infection and response of the patient to the medicine. The antibiotic may start working after you take it, but for maximum effect, it may require some time. Usually, the symptoms of bacterial infections start to decrease in 48 to 72 hours after starting the medication.
How long should you take Cefmic Dry Syrup?
The duration of therapy with Cefmic Dry Syrup depends on the type of infection. It is usually given for 7 days, ranging from 5 to 10 days, depending on the response of the infection in the patient. Consult your doctor for the exact duration of therapy and follow their instructions.
Can Cefmic Dry Syrup be taken on an empty stomach?
No, Cefmic Dry Syrup should not be taken on an empty stomach. It should be taken twice daily after a meal. Taking Cefmic Dry Syrup with food increases the absorption rate of the drug, enhancing the effectiveness of the medicine to treat the infection.
Can Cefmic Dry Syrup treat UTI?
Yes, Cefmic Dry Syrup can be used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) for 7 to 10 days. However, it is prescribed only by a doctor, and self-medication is not advised. The severity of the UTI determines the kind of therapy needed to treat it.
