How Refixim Products work
Cefixime + Lactobacillus is a combination of two medicines: Cefixime + Lactobacillus1 and Cefixime + Lactobacillus2. Cefixime + Lactobacillus1 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. Cefixime + Lactobacillus2 is a live micro-organism which restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine that may get upset with antibiotic use or due to intestinal infections.

Q. What if I give too much of Refixim Syrup by mistake?
Avoid giving more than the recommended dose because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. Although an extra dose of Refixim Syrup is unlikely to harm, if you think you have given too much of Refixim Syrup to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.
Q. Are there any possible serious side effects of Refixim Syrup?
In rare cases, Refixim Syrup may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, and allergy. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Refixim Syrup?
Refixim Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Refixim Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Refixim Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Q. The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. It is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. With symptoms often lasting for 7-10 days, this is exactly how a common cold generally progresses.
