Baby boy is unwell
My baby boy 8 months old is having loose motion since last 5 days . We have contacted pediatrician through practo app. And she suggested some medicine. But today his motion interval increased so do tor prescribed TAXIM O syrup 5mg/100ml for 5 days. But we got TAXIM O syrup 12mg/30ml from medical. Are they same ? Can we use it for baby or should we need to get the exact one what doctor prescribed ?

You can give this one. Dose is 5ml twice a day for 5 days. On one side of the the box it must be written Each 5ml of reconstituted suspension contains Cefixime 50mg. Always see the side because doctors prescribe as per reconstituted medicine.
