How it works
Femicef CV Dry Syrup is a potent antibiotic comprising two active medicines: Cefixime and Clavulanic acid. Cefixime 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 and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment. The second ingredient, clavulanic acid, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It reduces resistance and enhances the activity of cefixime against bacteria.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Femicef CV Dry Syrup by mistake?
If you believe you have given too much of Femicef CV Dry Syrup to your child, immediately contact a healthcare professional. Although an excess dose of Femicef CV Dry Syrup usually doesn't cause harm, overdosing can increase the likelihood of unwanted side effects and could worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Femicef CV Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always seek help from your child's doctor in case of these situations.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Femicef CV Dry Syrup?
Femicef CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your healthcare professional about all medications your child is taking before starting Femicef CV Dry Syrup. It's also crucial to consult a doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Femicef CV Dry Syrup?
Most antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received one. However, it's important to avoid vaccinating your child until they are completely recovered from their illness. After recovery, you can administer any necessary vaccines as recommended by your doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Mucus color does not indicate the type of infection your child may have. So, yellow or green nasal discharge does not automatically mean antibiotics are needed. During the common cold, it's normal for symptoms to last 7-10 days and for mucus to change texture and color.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotics are not necessary for viral infections like the common cold, which cause sore throats and ear infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barking cough, pain, and discharge from their ears, it is likely a virus. Consult your doctor for guidance.
