How it works
Revcef-DS 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 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 Revcef-DS Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Revcef-DS Dry Syrup by mistake?
Taking more than the recommended dose of Revcef-DS Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child has taken an excessive amount, consult a doctor immediately. Overdosing may result in unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Revcef-DS Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects associated with this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention from their healthcare professional.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Revcef-DS Dry Syrup?
It's important to inform a doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Revcef-DS Dry Syrup. Also, it's crucial to consult with your child's healthcare professional regarding giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Revcef-DS Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children after vaccination. However, it's important to note that the best practice is to wait until your child recovers from their illness before administering any further medications, including vaccinations. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Revcef-DS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's health over time, especially during long-term treatment.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a need for antibiotics. During common colds, mucus naturally thickens and changes color, often lasting for 7-10 days. The presence of mucus change doesn't necessarily mean an infection.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may be ineffective and potentially harmful. Consult with your child’s doctor before using antibiotics for any reason.
Can Revcef-DS Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. This is because these medications can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gut. It's important to monitor your child for any signs of diarrhea and consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on managing it.
Can Revcef-DS Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Revcef-DS Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria may no longer be affected by the medications, potentially leading to reinfection.
How long should I take Revcef-DS Dry Syrup?
Revcef-DS Dry Syrup is typically prescribed for 7-14 days. It's essential to adhere to the recommended dosage as advised by your healthcare provider, completing the full course of medication.
