Cefi 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria.

How to take Cefi 50 Dry Syrup

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria.

Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.
