It is likely to cause allergic skin reactions in some people. This medicine is not recommended for use in children below the age of 6 months. Zifi 100 MG Redimix can be taken with or without food. The treatment duration and dosage should be followed as prescribed to avoid bacterial resistance. It should not be taken when it is not required as that can make it less effective for future infections. Zifi 100 MG Redimix may not be safe for use in pregnancy/breastfeeding as the data is insufficient, consult your doctor before using it. Inform your doctor if you are diabetic or having kidney/heart diseases before taking this medicine. Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve even after completing the treatment course.
