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.

My child has a chest infection and the doctor prescribed Mahacef 100 three times a day. Is this the correct dosage?
