It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

Directions for Use

How it works
Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup 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 the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
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. 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. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much of Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup?
An extra dose of Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you believe you've given your child too much, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects or worsen their condition.
Are there any potential serious side effects of Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult a healthcare professional for any such situation.
Can other medicines be taken at the same time as Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting this medication. It's also important to consult with a healthcare professional before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive a vaccine until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while on long-term treatment with Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup?
The doctor may order blood tests to assess kidney and liver function periodically. This helps monitor your child's overall health.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not always indicate that antibiotics are necessary. During a typical cold, mucus can thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
My child is experiencing a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria, and antibiotics do not treat them. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barking cough, pain, and discharge from the ears, it's likely due to a virus. Consult with a healthcare professional for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should antibiotics be started to prevent infection?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Only use antibiotics after consulting with a healthcare professional.
Can Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children's stomachs can be sensitive, and taking antibiotics may cause stomach upset or diarrhea. When using antibiotics, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract can be affected too. Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup could kill off both the bad and the good bacteria, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop taking the medication. Instead, contact a doctor to discuss next steps. In some cases, the dosage may be adjusted.
Can Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, frequent use, and misuse of Cefolip 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
