Key Information
Short Description
Fixnis O Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections in children and adolescents.
Dosage Form
Dry Syrup
Introduction
Fixnis O Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections that may affect your child's eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bone and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Fixnis O Dry Syrup as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
How it works
Fixnis O Dry Syrup contains two antibiotics. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) while ofloxacin directly interacts with the genetic material of bacteria. As a consequence, the infection-causing bacteria stop growing further and the spread of the infection is successfully arrested.
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. Do not give Fixnis O Dry Syrup to your child for conditions like common cold and flu, which are caused by viruses. Only give Fixnis O Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child's doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Can other medications be given at the same time as Fixnis O Dry Syrup?
Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Fixnis O Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication to them.
Is it safe for my child to receive vaccinations while on treatment with Fixnis O Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, your child should wait until they recover from their illness before receiving any vaccinations.
Can Fixnis O Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?

Can Fixnis O Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Irregular dosing, unnecessary repeated use, or misuse of Fixnis O Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.

Inform your child's doctor if they have pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sunlight allergy), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because Fixnis O Dry Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
