In Typhoid: Cefutic kills the typhoid bacteria in the blood and gut, bringing down the fever and preventing the complications of untreated typhoid.

Safety advice

PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Ask your doctor whether it is safe for you to drive on this medicine.

Warnings & precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe reaction to penicillin; a small proportion of people react to both groups. 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.
