Cefu CV Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, abdomen, and urinary tract in children. It also prevents infection after surgeries and animal or human bite wounds.

Cefu CV Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime is an antibiotic that prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, while Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefuroxime.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to give Cefu CV Dry Syrup to my underweight child who is not growing well?
Giving Cefu CV Dry Syrup to a child who is underweight and not showing expected growth could increase the risk of blood clotting problems, especially those with underlying liver or kidney disease. It's crucial to consult your child’s doctor before using this medication to ensure its safety and efficacy for your child's specific situation.
Can Cefu CV Dry Syrup worsen my child's seizure disorder?
Cefu CV Dry Syrup may induce seizures, particularly in children with pre-existing kidney disease. Therefore, it should be used cautiously in children with a history of seizure disorders. If your child experiences any seizures while taking this medication, immediately stop using Cefu CV Dry Syrup and consult your doctor right away.
What should I do if I accidentally give too much Cefu CV Dry Syrup to my child?
Although giving an extra dose of Cefu CV Dry Syrup is unlikely to harm, always reach out to a doctor immediately if you suspect accidental overdose. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects and could even exacerbate your child's condition.
How long should I continue using Cefu CV Dry Syrup for my child?
The duration of Cefu CV Dry Syrup usage depends on the prescribed course by the doctor. It usually takes three to five days for an infection to show improvement, but it's crucial to finish the entire dosage as advised by your doctor and not stop abruptly. Abrupt discontinuation could worsen your child's condition or trigger a recurrence of the infection.
Are there any serious side effects associated with Cefu CV Dry Syrup?
Some possible serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you experience any of these adverse effects, immediately contact your child’s doctor for guidance.
Can other medicines be taken simultaneously with Cefu CV Dry Syrup?
Cefu CV Dry Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your doctor about all other medications your child is currently taking before starting this medication. In addition, always consult your doctor regarding any further medicine administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefu CV Dry Syrup?
While antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received them, it's advisable to wait until your child has fully recovered from the infection before administering any additional vaccines. Once they feel better, you can schedule their vaccination as advised by your doctor.
Should I use antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections in case of a common cold?
Antibiotics are generally not needed for treating viral infections like colds. Using them for these cases could lead to unwanted side effects without providing any benefit to your child’s health. It's crucial to only use antibiotics under the guidance and consultation of your doctor.
Does Cefu CV Dry Syrup affect my child's digestion?
Cefu CV Dry Syrup targets bacterial infections by killing harmful bacteria. However, it can also impact the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to diarrhea or other digestive issues. Children have a more sensitive stomach than adults, so this risk might be higher. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Cefu CV Dry Syrup, do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
