Uses of Cenfix-Drop

Cefixime may be prescribed for selected bacterial infections when the causative bacteria are susceptible to it. The specific approved indications for Cenfix-Drop should be confirmed from its prescribing information.

It should not be used automatically for every childhood fever, cough, sore throat, or diarrhoeal illness. A healthcare professional should determine whether an antibiotic is necessary.

How Cenfix-Drop Works

Cefixime interferes with the formation of bacterial cell walls. This weakens susceptible bacteria and helps stop them from growing.

Its effectiveness depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection and its susceptibility to Cefixime. It is not effective against viruses.

• Diarrhoea or loose stools
• Nausea or vomiting

Seek urgent medical attention if a child develops breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or throat, a severe skin reaction, or severe or persistent diarrhoea. Inform the prescriber about any suspected adverse reaction.
