Directions for Use

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

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Fixihub 50mg Dry Syrup?

Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
