Dosage Form
Dry Syrup
Introduction
Habocif 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 Habocif O Dry Syrup as these can affect the absorption of medicine.
How it works
Habocif 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 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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Habocif O Dry Syrup as these can affect the absorption of medicine. Only give Habocif O Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Habocif O Dry Syrup?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Habocif O Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Habocif O Dry Syrup generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Can Habocif O Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestion?

What should I tell the doctor before giving Habocif O Dry Syrup to my child?
Inform your child's doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because Habocif O Dry Syrup may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
