Introduction

Hifen-AZ 125 Tablet DT 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 may also be given to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.

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. Only give Hifen-AZ 125 Tablet DT to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Hifen-AZ 125 Tablet DT contains two antibiotics, cefixime and azithromycin. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) while Azithromycin interferes with the protein synthesis of bacteria. As a result, the growth of infection-causing bacteria gets controlled and the spread of the infection is successfully restricted.

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.
