Product Details

Duricef 250mg Syrup 90ml contains Cefadroxil, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, which works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This makes it effective in treating various bacterial infections. Syrup is generally prescribed for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing pills. It should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional.

Purposes

Duricef 250mg Syrup 90ml is used to treat infections such as respiratory tract infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), skin infections (cellulitis, impetigo), urinary tract infections (cystitis, pyelonephritis), and bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis). It is an effective remedy against bacteria causing these conditions, helping alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.

Warnings

• Allergic Reactions: Before using Duricef 250mg Syrup 90ml, ensure that there are no known allergies to Cefadroxil, other cephalosporins, or penicillins. If any allergic reaction, such as hives or difficulty breathing, occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
• Kidney and Liver Function: Patients with kidney or liver issues should be cautious and may need dosage adjustments. Monitoring of these organs is advised while using Syrup.
• Diarrhea: Persistent or severe diarrhea, particularly if bloody or watery, could indicate a more serious condition like Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea. Contact your doctor immediately if this occurs.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Syrup include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, and mild skin rashes. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions, liver issues (e.g., jaundice), kidney problems (e.g., changes in urine output), or blood disorders like anemia or leukopenia. If any severe symptoms arise, stop using the product and seek medical advice.

Cautions

Before using Syrup , inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney, liver problems, or allergies. Misuse or overuse of antibiotics can reduce effectiveness and contribute to antibiotic resistance, so always follow the prescribed dosage. Syrup may interact with other medications, so inform your healthcare provider about all drugs and supplements you are taking.
