CEFIX 100 mg syrup

Sefix 100 mg Syrup Active ingredient: Sefixim 100 mg/5 ml suspension Sefixim is a cephalosporin taken orally. Like penicillin, it is an antibiotic from the beta-lactam family. It works by binding to certain proteins located inside the bacterial cell wall, thereby preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall. Without a cell wall, the bacterial cell is exposed to external water and external pressures, leading to the rapid death of the bacteria. Medical uses of Sefix syrup Used to treat the following acute infections caused by some sensitive bacteria: Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI): for example, middle ear infection when the causative organism is known or suspected to be resistant to other commonly used antibiotics, or where treatment failure could lead to significant risks. Lower respiratory tract infections: for example, bronchitis. Urinary tract infections: for example, cystitis and pyelonephritis without serious complications. How to use Sefix syrup Sefixim is taken orally. The usual treatment duration is 7 days. It may extend up to 14 days if necessary. Adults and children over 10 years or weighing more than 50 kg: The recommended dose for adults is 200-400 mg daily depending on the severity of the infection, given either as a single dose or divided into two doses. Elderly: Elderly patients can receive the same recommended dose as adults. Kidney function should be assessed, and the dose should be adjusted in cases of severe renal impairment. Children under 10 years: Sefixim 200 mg is not recommended for children under 10 years. The safety and efficacy of Sefixim in children under 6 months have not been established. Dose adjustments may be necessary in special circumstances, so always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions. If you take more than the prescribed dose, contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is time for the next dose.
