Description
Adcef Insta Use Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the nose, throat, tonsils, ear, skin, etc. This medicine works by killing bacteria. It is not effective against infections caused by fungi or viruses.
Adcef Insta Use Syrup may cause some common side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, etc. Consult your doctor if these symptoms bother your child for a long time or become severe.
Adcef Insta Use Syrup can be given with or without food, as prescribed by your child's doctor. The dose and duration of treatment will depend on the type of infection and severity of your child's condition. Give this medicine to your child for the recommended duration even if he/she starts feeling better after a few doses. If you discontinue this medicine early, it may lead to antibiotic resistance (a condition where bacteria develop the ability to defeat the antibiotic intended to kill them).
