Lixen Pet Syrup 60 ml

Lixen Pet Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating mild to moderate infections of the nose, ears, skin, throat, urinary tract, and lungs (such as pneumonia and bronchitis) caused by bacteria. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause illness. Lixen Pet Syrup does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Lixen Pet Syrup contains Cephalexin, an antibiotic belonging to the first-generation cephalosporin class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections. 

Lixen Pet Syrup should be used as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Lixen Pet Syrup to the child. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection. Lixen Pet Syrup may cause certain side effects in your child, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.

Lixen Pet Syrup is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Lixen Pet Syrup to your child if they are allergic to any of its components or other antibiotics. Before administration, inform your doctor if your child has any pre-existing liver or kidney disease. Also, keep your doctor informed about your child’s current medications and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Lixen Pet Syrup contains cephalexin. It is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Lixen Pet Syrup is used in the treatment of several bacterial infections in children. Lixen Pet Syrup works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections.

Do not give Lixen Pet Syrup if your child is allergic to any of its components or to other antibiotics. Before administering this medication, inform your doctor if your child has any pre-existing liver or kidney disease. Also, keep your doctor informed about your child’s current medications and medical history to help avoid side effects or interactions. Avoid giving Lixen Pet Syrup to your child without medical advice, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance, making antibiotics ineffective against specific bacterial infections.
