Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup

Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that contains cefuroxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, in a dry syrup form that is mixed with water before use. Each bottle provides cefuroxime 125 mg in the prepared oral suspension, and it is supplied by Lupin, India in a strip/box of 10 bottles. Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup is used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as infections of the ear, throat, sinuses, chest, urinary tract, or skin when a doctor prescribes it. It does not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.

How it works: Cefuroxime works by stopping bacteria from building a protective cell wall, which causes the bacteria to die. In Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup, the medicine is given as a liquid after mixing with water, making it easier to dose accurately.

Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup is a lower pediatric-friendly strength that can help a doctor give a smaller, measured dose when that is appropriate. Because it is a dry syrup, it is usually easier to swallow than tablets and can be useful for children or adults who have trouble taking solid medicine. The 125 mg strength is chosen when the prescriber wants more flexible dose adjustment than a higher-strength product would allow.

• Ear infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Chest and lung infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Mix the dry syrup with the amount of water directed on the bottle label before the first use.
• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the cefuroxime is evenly distributed.
• Measure each dose with a proper oral syringe or measuring spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
• Take Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup exactly as prescribed, and keep taking it for the full course even if symptoms improve.
• It may be taken with food to help improve absorption and reduce stomach upset.
• Do not use the bottle if the reconstituted syrup looks unusual, and follow the pharmacy's or label's discard instructions after mixing.

Each bottle of Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup provides cefuroxime 125 mg in the prepared oral liquid. The dosing frequency may be once or twice daily, depending on the infection and the patient's age or weight, and the doctor decides the exact schedule; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum for every patient because cefuroxime dosing is individualized.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Cefuroxime may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Headache
• Rash
• Loose stools

• Tell the doctor if you have ever had an allergy to cefuroxime, penicillins, or other cephalosporin antibiotics.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney disease, because cefuroxime may need dose adjustment.
• Cetil 125 mg Dry Syrup may contain sugar or sweeteners depending on the product preparation, which matters for people with diabetes.
• Do not use it for viral illnesses like colds or flu.
• Avoid alcohol if it upsets your stomach or if your clinician advises against it during treatment.
