Asked by Male, 25 · 13 days ago

Mahacef 100 contains Cefixime, an antibiotic. For children, the standard dosing for Cefixime is typically administered once daily or split into two doses (twice daily), rather than three times a day. A three-times-a-day schedule is highly unusual for this specific medication. I strongly advise you to contact your pediatrician or pharmacist to double-check the prescription. There may have been a misunderstanding or a writing error, and they might have intended twice-daily dosing instead. Please verify with the doctor before giving the next dose to ensure your child is receiving the correct and safe amount.
