Cforion-PD Drop

Cforion-PD Drop belongs to a class of medications called ‘Antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. It is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections such as pharyngitis (sore throat), tonsillitis (swollen tonsils), otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis (sinus infection), bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi or lower respiratory tract infection) and skin infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce toxins that can damage tissues and make you sick. Cforion-PD Drop is ineffective against viral infections, such as the common cold or flu.

Cforion-PD Drop contains ‘Cefprozil’, which is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Thus, it helps treat and prevent the spread of infections.

You should give Cforion-PD Drop to your child exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Cforion-PD Drop are nausea, diarrhoea, diaper rash, and vaginal itching or discharge. It may also cause abnormal liver function tests and decreased blood cell (WBC) count. These side effects usually don't require medical attention. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these side effects persist or get worse.

It is not recommended to give Cforion-PD Drop if your child is allergic to any antibiotics, including penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics. Before giving Cforion-PD Drop, inform your doctor if your child has intestinal problems such as colitis (inflammation of the intestine) and kidney diseases. Do not give Cforion-PD Drop to your child on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infection. Cforion-PD Drop should be used with caution in children by consulting a doctor.

• Cforion-PD Drop can be given with or without food. • Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication. • For powder for suspensions, reconstitute the powder with distilled  water as per the labelled instructions. • Administer the advised dose to the child using the measuring cup/measuring spoon/dropper. • Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly. Shake well before use.

Cforion-PD Drop contains ‘Cefprozil’, which is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It acts by disrupting the formation of the cell wall (outer layer), which is essential for bacteria’s survival, thereby killing the bacteria. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and acts against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It can effectively treat bacterial infections such as pharyngitis (sore throat), tonsillitis (swollen tonsils), otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis (sinus infection), bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi or lower respiratory tract infection), and skin infections.

Cforion-PD Drop should be used with caution in children with kidney diseases. Do not give Cforion-PD Drop to your child on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Your child may experience ‘Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea (CDAD)’ after using Cforion-PD Drop. So, please undergo an examination to rule out CDAD's chances if they experience diarrhoea following the use of Cforion-PD Drop. Do not give Cforion-PD Drop to your child for prolonged periods than recommended by your doctor. Long-term use can lead to superinfection (additional infection caused by other microbes).
