Description

Aerocef DS 200mg/5ml Suspension is a highly effective antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in both adults and children. This product contains Cefixime, a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by targeting and killing harmful bacteria in the body. Aerocef DS is particularly useful for treating infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. Available in a 30ml bottle, this oral suspension form is easy to administer, making it an ideal choice for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. Aerocef DS provides targeted treatment for bacterial infections and should not be used to treat viral conditions like the common cold or flu.

Functions

Aerocef DS 200mg/5ml Suspension functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the body. Its primary uses include:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Effective for treating conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Helps manage infections of the bladder, kidneys, and other parts of the urinary system.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Treats various skin conditions including cellulitis, abscesses, and wounds.

By killing or inhibiting bacterial growth, Aerocef DS helps the body recover from infections and prevents complications.

Precautions

Before using Aerocef DS 200mg/5ml Suspension, it's important to take the following precautions into consideration:

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor if you're pregnant, as there is limited data on the safety of Cefixime during pregnancy.
• Breastfeeding: Aerocef DS may pass into breast milk, so it's essential to speak with your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.
• Liver and Kidney Conditions: Patients with liver or kidney problems should use Aerocef DS with caution. Your doctor may adjust the dosage depending on your condition.
• Allergic Reactions: Inform your doctor if you have any known allergies to cephalosporins or penicillins to avoid serious allergic reactions.
• Gastrointestinal Health: Patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, such as colitis or diarrhea, should take this medication under medical supervision.

Side Effects

As with any medication, Aerocef DS 200mg/5ml Suspension may cause side effects. Common side effects include:

• Digestive Issues: You may experience diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort.
• Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Some patients may feel dizzy, which can be worsened by standing up too quickly.

Cautions

While using Aerocef DS 200mg/5ml Suspension, it is important to keep the following cautions in mind:

• Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol during treatment with Aerocef DS, as it can worsen side effects like dizziness or stomach upset.
• Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider of any other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as some may interact with Cefixime and reduce its effectiveness or increase side effects.
