About Cefadrox DS 250 mg Syrup
Cefadrox DS 250 mg Syrup is used in the treatment of bacterial infections in children. It is effective against upper respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin and soft tissue infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness.
Cefadrox DS 250 mg Syrup contains cefadroxil, a new semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from forming their protective outer wall, leading to cell death. Thereby, it helps treat bacterial infections.
The doctor will decide the dose and duration of Cefadrox DS 250 mg Syrup based on the severity of your child's infection. In some cases, Cefadrox DS 250 mg Syrup may cause common side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, sore tongue, abdominal pain, dyspepsia (indigestion), skin rash, and itching. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if your child experiences these side effects persistently, consult your doctor.
Inform the doctor if your child is allergic to any of the components in Cefadrox DS 250 mg Syrup, penicillin, or other cephalosporin antibiotics. Also, please inform the doctor about all the medications your child is currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to help rule out any potential side effects or interactions. Be sure to inform the doctor if your child has any pre-existing medical conditions, such as kidney disease, asthma, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including colitis (inflammation of the colon).
