How it works
Sefodex CV Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefpodoxime Proxetil and Clavulanic Acid. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of bacteria.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sefodex CV Dry Syrup?

However, children taking antibiotics may need to delay receiving some vaccinations until they have recovered from any illness. Once your child feels better, it's usually safe to administer the vaccine.

Can Sefodex CV Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestion?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach while taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be negatively affected by the presence of both the beneficial and harmful bacteria during treatment. Sefodex CV Dry Syrup might exacerbate this, potentially increasing the risk of other infections. If your child develops diarrhea while on Sefodex CV Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, contact your child's doctor for further advice, as they may adjust the dosage.
