A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Cefix DS Syrup. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Cefix DS Syrup contains Cefixime (200mg/5ml).
Treatment of Bacterial infections
Cefix-DS Suspension is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria by preventing them from forming the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is needed for them to survive.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Most side effects of Cefix DS are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every medicine you take, including over-the-counter products, vitamins and herbal or ayurvedic preparations, before starting Cefix DS. Some combinations can change how Cefix DS works or raise the chance of side effects.
Store Cefix DS below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the pack tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.
Take Cefix-DS Suspension exactly as prescribed and complete the full course, even if you start feeling better. Stopping Cefix-DS Suspension too early may allow the infection to return and become harder to treat. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Cefix-DS Suspension, especially if fever or infection-related dehydration is present. Diarrhea may occur while taking Cefix-DS Suspension, but it usually resolves after completing the treatment course. Use oral rehydration fluids if diarrhea occurs, and contact your doctor if it becomes severe or bloody. Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergy to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics before taking Cefix-DS Suspension. Stop taking Cefix-DS Suspension and seek immediate medical help if you develop a rash, itching, swelling of the face or mouth, or difficulty breathing. Inform your doctor if you are taking blood thinners or other medicines that may interact with antibiotics. Consult your doctor if symptoms do not improve within a few days of starting Cefix-DS Suspension. Do not use leftover antibiotics or share Cefix-DS Suspension with others. Report symptoms such as vaginal itching or discharge that may occur due to secondary yeast infection after antibiotic use.
