Product Details

Caricef 60ml is an oral antibiotic syrup containing Cefixime Trihydrate, a third-generation cephalosporin. This medication is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria. This syrup is commonly prescribed for both adults and children, making it a versatile option for managing infections. It is important to use this medication as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure optimal effectiveness.

Purposes

Caricef syrup is indicated for the treatment of several bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains, including:

• Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Helps eliminate bacterial infections in the urinary tract.
• Otitis Media (Middle Ear Infections): Effective in treating ear infections, particularly in pediatric patients.
• Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis: Used for treating throat infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Acute Bronchitis and Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis: Provides relief from respiratory infections.
• Uncomplicated Gonorrhea (Cervical/Urethral): Effective against certain sexually transmitted bacterial infections.

By targeting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, Caricef 60ml syrup offers a reliable solution for combating these infections and promoting recovery.

Warnings

When using Caricef 60ml, it is essential to administer the medication with caution, especially in patients with significantly impaired renal function or those with a history of gastrointestinal disease, such as colitis. The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics like Caricef may alter the normal flora of the colon, potentially leading to the overgrowth of harmful bacteria like Clostridia. It is crucial to monitor patient response and adjust the treatment plan as necessary under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects associated with Caricef syrup include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, headache, and dizziness. Some patients may experience changes in stool color or transient increases in liver enzymes, which should be monitored by a healthcare professional. Severe diarrhea may indicate a more serious condition; therefore, Caricef 60ml should be discontinued if this occurs. Patients should report any unusual or persistent side effects to their doctor immediately.

Cautions

Patients with known allergies to cephalosporins or penicillin-sensitive individuals should use Caricef 60ml with caution due to possible cross-allergenicity. Additionally, inform your healthcare provider of any other medications being taken, as interactions with anticoagulants, carbamazepine, or probenecid could occur. Proper storage of Caricef at room temperature, away from direct light and heat, is necessary to maintain its efficacy. Always consult with your physician to determine the best course of treatment and address any concerns you may have.
