How it works
Cifinca 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. 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 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 Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection.

Taking more than the recommended dose of Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child may have ingested a larger amount, contact a medical professional immediately. Excessive amounts of Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to unwanted side effects, which might worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects associated with this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for immediate medical help in case of these conditions.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about all medications they are currently taking before starting Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, it's advisable to seek professional guidance from a healthcare provider before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the vaccine's ingredients or cause negative reactions in children who have recently received a vaccination. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid receiving vaccinations until they recover from any illness. Once your child is symptom-free, vaccination can be scheduled.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor might recommend kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's overall health.
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 does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a typical cold, nasal mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellowish or greenish. Symptoms often subside within 7-10 days.
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 do not follow viral infections. However, using antibiotics for viral infections might be unnecessary and may lead to side effects without a positive impact on your child's health. Consult with your child's doctor before starting any antibiotics.
Can Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can negatively affect the balance of bacteria in their gut. Taking Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup could further deplete good bacteria and increase your child's risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea, do not stop the medication course. Contact your doctor for guidance on adjusting the dosage.
Can Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, frequent use, and misuse of Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
How long should I take Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cifinca 50mg Dry Syrup is typically prescribed for 7-14 days. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely regarding the duration of treatment.
