About MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML

MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML belongs to a group of antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, sinuses (sinusitis), throat (tonsillitis, pharyngitis), lungs (bronchitis, pneumonia), and urinary system (cystitis and kidney infections). Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.

MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML contains Cefixime (antibiotic) and Lactobacillus (beneficial lactic acid-producing bacteria). Cefixime kills the bacterial cell by blocking the chemical (mucopeptides) released by the bacteria’s outer layer (cell wall). In turn, MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML weakens and destroys the bacterial cell wall. It is a broad range of antibiotics that helps in fighting various types of bacteria. Lactobacillus is a beneficial lactic acid-producing bacteria (good bacteria) that supports the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestine, maintaining a healthy balance of microflora in the gut environment. Lactobacillus prevents diarrhea and loss of beneficial bacteria in the intestine lost due to a prolonged intake of MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML. Thus, together MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML helps in the prevention of infections.  MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.

The dose and duration of MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML can vary depending upon your condition and the severity of the infection.

Leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic (antibiotic resistance).

Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.  In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor if you notice any sudden wheeziness, tightness in the chest or throat, difficulty in breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, and tongue, STOP TAKING your medicine and go to a doctor immediately.

As far as it is known, MAHACEF SYRUP 30ML may be used in pregnancy. Consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily during treatment with cefixime.
