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
Cefsis 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 Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child may have taken too much, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose can cause unwanted side effects and might worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects may include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for help if you experience these.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup might interact with other medications. Inform your child's doctor about all medications before starting treatment. It is essential to discuss potential interactions with a medical professional.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received one. However, it's important to wait until your child is completely recovered before getting vaccinated again. Once they feel better, the doctor can advise on giving the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests may be recommended by your doctor to monitor your child's condition during prolonged treatment with Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge doesn't necessarily mean your child needs antibiotics for a bacterial infection. It is often normal during the common cold, when mucus changes from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually subside within 7 to 10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not used for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
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 don't occur after viral infections. Giving antibiotics for viral infections might not benefit your child and could cause side effects instead.
Can Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children are more susceptible to stomach upset due to antibiotics. The good bacteria in their digestive tract might also be affected during treatment with Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup. This can increase the risk of other infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea on Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup, it's crucial to contact a doctor for guidance and potential dosage adjustments.
Can Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes. Uncontrolled treatment, repeated use, or misuse of Cefsis 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotic and may lead to reinfection.
