How it works
Cefy Prox 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 Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my child accidentally takes too much Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup?
If your child has taken an extra dose of Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup, it is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think they have given too much medicine, contact a doctor immediately. They can provide guidance on what to do next and help prevent any potential side effects.
Are there any serious side effects of Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup that I should be aware of?
Some possible serious side effects of this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you notice these symptoms in your child, consult their doctor for advice.
Can my child take other medicines while on Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before giving any other medicine to your child, inform their doctor about the antibiotics they are currently taking.
Can my child get vaccinated while taking Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before getting a vaccine.
What lab tests may my child need while taking Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Their doctor may recommend periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor their condition.
Why is yellow or green mucus in my child's nose not necessarily a sign of bacterial infection?
During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last 7-10 days, so antibiotics are usually not needed for this type of illness.
Can I give my child antibiotics if they have a sore throat or ear infection?
No, more than 80% of these types of infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. Consult your child's doctor to determine the best course of action.
Should I use antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections when my child has a common cold?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may cause side effects without benefiting their health. Only use antibiotics under your child's doctor's guidance.
Can Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Antibiotics like Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup can sometimes disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to stomach upset or diarrhea. If your child experiences these symptoms while taking the medication, contact their doctor for advice.
Can misuse of Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Cefy Prox 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of resistant bacteria. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
