About L-Cin Syrup

L-Cin Syrup is a highly effective antibiotic that is active against a wide range of bacteria. L-Cin Syrup is used in a variety of bacterial infections, most importantly acute pneumonia (Lung infection), bronchitis (Inflammation of the lung passages), skin infections, and urinary tract infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria multiply in the body, causing illness.

L-Cin Syrup contains Levofloxacin. It works by killing bacteria that cause infections in the lungs, urinary tract, skin, and other parts of the body. This helps stop the infection from spreading and supports recovery.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently. 

Before starting L-Cin Syrup, please inform your doctor if you have any allergies (to any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take L-Cin Syrup on your own, as self-medication can lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to treat specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor before using L-Cin Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
