How it works
Stenix CV Dry Syrup is a potent antibiotic comprising two active medicines: Cefixime and Clavulanic acid. Cefixime 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 and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment. The second ingredient, clavulanic acid, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It reduces resistance and enhances the activity of cefixime against bacteria.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Stenix CV Dry Syrup?
If you think you've given your child an extra dose, contact a doctor right away. Although one extra dose of Stenix CV Dry Syrup is usually safe, taking too much can increase the risk of unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects associated with Stenix CV Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, consult their doctor for assistance.
Can other medicines be given simultaneously with Stenix CV Dry Syrup?
Stenix CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications they're taking before starting Stenix CV Dry Syrup, and consult their doctor before administering any additional medication.
Can my child receive a vaccine while on treatment with Stenix CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should delay vaccination until they've recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What does it mean if my child's nasal mucus is yellow-green?
The color of mucus does not indicate the type of infection; therefore, a yellow or green discharge from the nose does not necessarily require antibiotics. It's common for symptoms to persist for 7-10 days during the common cold, and mucus texture and color can change.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection; should I give them antibiotics?
No, since more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child experiences symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus; consult their doctor for guidance.
