CEFIDAZ-50 Cefixime 50 mg/5 ml Dry Syrup

Product Description

When a child has a fever with a sore throat, a painful ear or burning while passing urine, a doctor often has to decide whether bacteria are behind it. If they are, an antibiotic that is easy to give and works against a wide range of common germs becomes the first choice. CEFIDAZ-50 is a cefixime dry syrup made for that purpose. This page explains what it contains, what it is used for, how it works, how to give it safely and how distributors can add it to a paediatric range.

What Is CEFIDAZ-50? Cefixime Dry Syrup: Brand Name and Generic Explained

CEFIDAZ-50 is the product name. The generic name is Cefixime Dry Syrup. Each 5 ml of the prepared syrup contains cefixime 50 mg, and the pack size is 30 ml. It is a dry syrup, which means it is supplied as a powder in a bottle and mixed with water before use.

Cefixime belongs to the cephalosporin group of antibiotics, which are related to penicillin. It is a prescription medicine and should be given to a child only when a doctor advises it.

Cefixime Dry Syrup Uses: When a Doctor May Prescribe It

A doctor may prescribe cefixime for infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to it. In children the common ones are middle ear infections (otitis media), sore throat and tonsillitis, bronchitis and some chest infections, and urinary tract infections. It is also used for typhoid (enteric) fever and for a few other infections, depending on the doctor’s judgement.

An antibiotic works only against bacteria. Most coughs, colds, sore throats and fevers in children are caused by viruses, and cefixime will not help in those cases. That is why the medicine should be given only when a doctor has examined the child and never kept at home to be used “just in case”.

What You Gain from It: A Broad Antibiotic That Is Easy to Give

For the family, the main benefit is that the liquid is easy to measure and to give to a child who cannot swallow tablets, and the flavour is usually made to be acceptable to children. For the doctor, cefixime covers many of the common bacteria behind the ear, throat, chest and urinary infections, so it is a convenient option for outpatient treatment.

The dry syrup form also has a practical advantage. The powder stays stable on the shelf, and the liquid is prepared fresh at home. As with every antibiotic, the benefit depends on giving the full course exactly as prescribed.

How the Syrup Works Inside the Body

Bacteria have a protective wall around them. Cefixime attaches to proteins in that wall and stops the bacteria from building and repairing it, so the wall weakens and the bacteria die. Because human cells do not have this kind of wall, the medicine can target bacteria while sparing the body’s own cells. Cefixime is also fairly stable against some of the enzymes that bacteria use to destroy antibiotics, which is one reason it works against many common germs.

Cefixime Dry Syrup Dose and How to Prepare and Give It the Right Way

Give the syrup exactly as the doctor or pharmacist advises and follow the directions on the label. The dose depends on the child’s weight and age and on the infection being treated, so no fixed dose should be assumed.

To prepare it, follow the instructions printed on the bottle for the amount of clean, boiled and cooled water to add, then shake well until the powder is fully mixed. Shake the bottle again before each dose, and measure with the cap or the measuring device provided, not a kitchen spoon. Store the prepared syrup as the label directs and throw away any that is left after the period stated on the label. Keep the dry powder in a cool, dry place and the bottle out of children’s reach.

Complete the full course even if the child feels better after a day or two. Stopping early can let the infection return and can encourage resistant bacteria. If a dose is missed, give it when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one, and never give a double dose. If there is no improvement in two to three days, or the child gets worse, go back to the doctor.

Cefixime Dry Syrup Side Effects and the Signs That Need a Doctor

Most children tolerate cefixime well. The most common effects are loose stools or diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, gas and headache. Some children develop a mild rash.

Contact a doctor if the diarrhoea is severe or does not stop, or if there is blood or mucus in the stool, because antibiotics can sometimes cause a serious gut infection. Get urgent medical help for signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash with itching or swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or breathing trouble. Also seek help for yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bruising or bleeding, blistering of the skin, or very little urine.

Who Should Be Careful Before Using It

Do not give this medicine to anyone who is allergic to cefixime, other cephalosporins or penicillin without asking the doctor, because the allergy can be shared. Tell the doctor if the child has kidney disease, because the dose may need adjusting, or has had severe diarrhoea or colitis after taking antibiotics.

Safety in infants under six months has not been well established, so such young babies should receive it only on a doctor’s advice. If the mother is pregnant or breastfeeding, the doctor must decide whether it is suitable. Older adults and people with kidney problems need dose care.

Some medicines interact with cefixime. It can increase the effect of blood thinners such as warfarin, and it can raise carbamazepine levels. Probenecid increases cefixime levels in the blood. Antibiotics can reduce the effect of the oral typhoid vaccine, and cefixime can cause false-positive results on some urine sugar tests. Tell the doctor about all medicines and vaccines the patient is taking. This is general information and does not replace a doctor’s advice.
