Zocef-CV Dry Syrup is a potent antibiotic that effectively treats bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, abdomen, and urinary tract in children. It also prevents infection after surgeries and animal or human bite wounds.
Zocef-CV Dry Syrup can be given either before or after meals but giving it with food improves absorption and reduces the chances of stomach upset in your child. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it is already time for the next dose.
This medicine may have some minor and temporary side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergy. These episodes should start receding after a few doses. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report to the doctor without any delay.
Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
BENEFITS OF ZOCEF-CV DRY SYRUP FOR YOUR CHILD
In Treatment of Bacterial infections
Zocef-CV Dry Syrup is a mixture of two medicines, namely, cefuroxime and clavulanic acid. While cefuroxime is an antibiotic, clavulanic acid helps broaden the activity spectrum of cefuroxime. As a result, these two ingredients have the potential of effectively treating various bacterial infections such as middle ear infections, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, skin infections, and urinary tract infections.
This medicine inhibits the growth of infection-causing bacteria by stopping it from multiplying. You may start seeing an improvement in your child’s infection within 3 to 5 days of the regular dosing. However, you must still finish the full course of the medicine because stopping the medicine abruptly may worsen your child’s condition or cause infection recurrence.

HOW ZOCEF-CV DRY SYRUP WORKS
Zocef-CV Dry Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid. Cefuroxime is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate Cefuroxime. Addition of Clavulanic Acid reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefuroxime against bacteria.
