Vucef Lb Dry Syrup 30 ML is primarily used for managing bacterial infections in children. This medicine is a combination medication, falling under the category of antibiotics. In addition to its prime function, this medicine also helps in maintaining a healthy gut flora, which is often disturbed during antibiotic treatment.

It can be used to manage pneumonia and gonorrhoea when they are caused by certain strains of bacteria.

Before taking this medicine, it is crucial to consult your doctor. Make sure your doctor is informed about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines your child is taking. If your child experiences any side effects while on this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. Continue giving the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Side Effects of Vucef Lb Dry Syrup 30 ML

Nausea
Loose stools
Abdominal pain
Dyspepsia: This term refers to indigestion, which might cause discomfort in your stomach.
Hypersensitivity reactions: These are allergic reactions that can range from skin rashes to difficulty in breathing.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Vucef Lb Dry Syrup 30 ML. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Vucef Lb Dry Syrup 30 ML contains two main components:

Cefixime (50 mg): This is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that interferes with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. By doing so, it halts the growth of bacteria, helping to eliminate the infection.
Lactobacillus (60 million CFUs): This probiotic bacteria works by restoring the beneficial bacteria in your child's gut. During antibiotic therapy, the normal bacterial flora may get disturbed, which can lead to antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Lactobacillus helps to prevent this by maintaining a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
