Netfix 50mg Dry Syrup is a drug that contains an antibiotic named Cefixime from the cephalosporin group. This drug is typically used to treat different types of bacterial infections.

Cefixime works as a building disrupter for bacteria, and affects specific proteins present in bacterial cell walls. Its beta-lactam rings obstruct the construction process and dismantle the bacterial protection. This disruption is notably effective against rapidly multiplying bacteria, leading to their elimination.

Abide by the instructions given on your Cefixime label closely. The drug can be taken with or without meals. The provision of this medication will be made by your healthcare provider or nurse; refrain from administering it yourself.

Typical side effects might include issues such as indigestion, abdominal discomfort, feelings of nausea, episodes of vomiting, or vaginal irritation. Should these persist, reach out to your healthcare provider.

Avoid using Cefixime if you have allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics or penicillins. Crossreactivity may occur, which can lead to anything from mild skin hives to severe anaphylactic reactions. Ensure your healthcare provider is informed about any existing penicillin allergies. For people diagnosed with phenylketonuria (PKU), be aware that the soluble tablet may have phenylalanine. Antibacterials like Cefixime may result in diarrhea; abstain from using anti-diarrheal medication without checking with your doctor.

If a medication dose is forgotten, consume it as soon as you recall. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, leave out the forgotten one. Refrain from consuming extra doses. Seek your doctor's advice on handling missed doses properly.

If an overdose is suspected, seek urgent medical care. Symptoms could include severe abdominal discomfort, watery or bloody diarrhea, yellowness in the skin and eyes (jaundice), seizures, and skin reactions.

Take it as soon as you remember, if it's time for the next dose then skip it and follow the regular dose.
