Introduction
Cefnor 125mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that is given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the skin, throat, and tonsils. It may also be prescribed as a second line of treatment for urinary tract infections.
Directions for Use
Give Cefnor 125mg Tablet 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
Cefnor 125mg Tablet 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, become resistant, or cause another infection. Only give Cefnor 125mg Tablet 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.

Can I give my child vaccinations while on treatment with Cefnor 125mg Tablet?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the components of vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have just received their immunization. However, it is recommended that your child should avoid receiving a vaccine until they recover from any illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Are there lab tests needed while on long-term treatment with Cefnor 125mg Tablet?

My child has a runny nose, and there is yellowish-green mucus coming out of their nose. What should I do?
During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. This color change doesn't necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. These symptoms usually last 7 to 10 days; however, if the symptoms continue or worsen, consult with your child's doctor.
How does Cefnor 125mg Tablet impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach when taking medications. Cefnor 125mg Tablet is an antibiotic, and its use may affect the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, potentially killing beneficial bacteria while also promoting bad bacteria growth, and increasing infection risk. If your child is experiencing diarrhea while on Cefnor 125mg Tablet, do not abruptly stop the medication course. Instead, contact your child's doctor to discuss next steps. They may suggest an alternative dosage to reduce the likelihood of side effects.
Can Cefnor 125mg Tablet lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment practices, repeated use, and improper use of Cefnor 125mg Tablet can contribute to bacterial resistance. This means that when next required, the same antibiotic may not be effective, and a different antibiotic might be needed for your child. This new antibiotic may also have additional side effects.
