How Duracef Pediatric Drop Works

Cefixime is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall. Without a proper cell wall, bacteria cannot survive, leading to the elimination of the infection-causing organisms.

Dosage and Administration

• The dosage should be determined by a registered physician based on the child’s age, body weight, and severity of infection.
• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Use the supplied dropper or measuring device for accurate dosing.
• The medicine may be given with or without food.
• Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier.

Do not stop the antibiotic prematurely, as this may lead to bacterial resistance or recurrence of infection.
