How it works
Zim LB Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefixime and Lactobacillus. Cefixime 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. Lactobacillus is a live micro-organism that restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine that may get upset with antibiotic use or due to intestinal infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help if Zim LB Dry Syrup causes a bitter taste. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Zim LB Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Stop Zim LB Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty.

Frequently asked questions
My child is suffering from liver failure and his investigations showed high blood ammonia levels. Is it safe to give Zim LB Dry Syrup?
No. It is better to avoid giving Zim LB Dry Syrup as it contains lactobacillus which can further elevate the levels of blood ammonia and increase the risk of serious complications like coma.
What if I give too much of Zim LB Dry Syrup by mistake?
Avoid giving more than the recommended dose because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. Although an extra dose of Zim LB Dry Syrup is unlikely to harm, if you think you have given too much of Zim LB Dry Syrup to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Zim LB Dry Syrup?
In rare cases, Zim LB Dry Syrup may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, and allergy. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zim LB Dry Syrup?
Zim LB Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Zim LB Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Zim LB Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. It is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. With symptoms often lasting for 7-10 days, this is exactly how a common cold generally progresses.
