Introduction
Sayfurox CV Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, abdomen, and urinary tract in children. It also prevents infection after surgeries and animal or human bite wounds.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Sayfurox CV Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefuroxime.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sayfurox CV Dry Syrup ?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the components of vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received them. However, it is recommended to wait until your child recovers from the illness before administering any vaccination. Once the child feels well, follow your doctor's advice regarding the vaccine.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
It is not typical for viral infections like colds to lead to secondary bacterial infections. However, it's important to follow your doctor’s advice regarding the best course of action for your child.
Can Sayfurox CV Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestion?
Antibiotics can potentially disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diarrhea or other digestive problems. Children's stomachs are more sensitive than those of adults, increasing their susceptibility to this side effect. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking Sayfurox CV Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course immediately. Contact your doctor for advice on how to proceed.
