About Cefspan Syrup

Cefspan Syrup belongs to a group of cephalosporin antibiotics. It is used to treat susceptible organisms (bacteria)-caused infections of the ear, nose, sinuses (sinusitis), throat (tonsillitis, pharyngitis), chest and lungs (bronchitis, pneumonia) and urinary system (cystitis and kidney infections). Additionally, it is also prescribed to treat uncomplicated gonorrhoea (cervical/urethral).

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects are persistent or you notice any unusual symptoms developing in the child, inform your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor about your child's entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with Cefspan Syrup unless prescribed by a doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to give probiotics after taking the full course of Cefspan Syrup to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) can help with diarrhoea from antibiotics.
  • Give plenty of water to the child. Staying hydrated is important, especially when you’re child sick.
  • Eating a broad range of plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses, and whole grains helps to build a healthy gut microbiome.
  • Avoid feeding too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks because they may interfere with the functioning of Cefspan Syrup.
