PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S

How PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S Works

• PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S contains Cephalexin, a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall. Bacteria, like all living cells, need a protective wall to survive. This wall is made of a complex molecule called peptidoglycan. Cephalexin specifically inhibits the enzymes responsible for synthesizing peptidoglycan. By blocking peptidoglycan synthesis, Cephalexin weakens the bacterial cell wall.
• As the bacteria grow and divide, they cannot properly build or maintain their cell walls. This leads to the formation of weakened cell walls that are prone to rupture. The weakened cell wall becomes unstable and eventually breaks down, causing the bacterial cell to lyse (burst) and die. This effectively eliminates the infection by preventing the bacteria from multiplying and spreading.
• Cephalexin is a bactericidal antibiotic, meaning it directly kills bacteria rather than just inhibiting their growth. Its selective action on bacterial cell walls, which are different from human cell structures, makes it relatively safe for use in humans. While some side effects are possible, the drug primarily targets bacterial processes, minimizing harm to human cells. The effectiveness of Cephalexin depends on the type and severity of the bacterial infection, as well as the susceptibility of the bacteria to the antibiotic.
• PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including many common causes of respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. By disrupting the bacterial cell wall, PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S helps to clear the infection and relieve symptoms.

Common side effects of PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, indigestion, and skin rashes or hives. Less common side effects can include allergic reactions such as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing, dizziness, seizures, and changes in liver function tests. Rarely, it may cause severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, blood disorders, or kidney problems. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately. This is not an exhaustive list; other side effects may occur.

• If you miss a dose of PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep PHEXIN 125MG KID TAB 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store PHEXIN 125MG KID TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Complete the Full Course: Even if your child feels better after a few days, it's crucial to finish the entire course of PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S as prescribed by the doctor. Stopping early can lead to the infection returning and becoming more resistant to antibiotics. This helps ensure that all the bacteria are eradicated, preventing recurrence and antibiotic resistance. Think of it like completely clearing out weeds from a garden – if you leave some roots, they'll grow back!
• Administer at Consistent Times: For the best results, give PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S to your child at the same times each day, spaced evenly apart. This helps maintain a consistent level of the antibiotic in their body to fight the infection effectively. For example, if the prescription is twice daily, aim for every 12 hours. Setting a reminder on your phone can be very helpful in maintaining this consistency.
• Give with or Without Food as Directed: PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S can generally be given with or without food, but always follow your doctor's instructions. Some antibiotics are better absorbed with food, while others are not affected. If your child experiences stomach upset, giving the tablet with a small snack may help. Always clarify any doubts with your pediatrician or pharmacist.
• Stay Hydrated: Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids while they are taking PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S. Staying hydrated helps their body flush out the infection and can also prevent some side effects, such as constipation. Water, clear broths, and diluted fruit juices are good choices. Avoid sugary drinks, which can sometimes worsen symptoms.
• Monitor for Allergic Reactions: Be vigilant for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Although rare, allergic reactions to antibiotics can be serious. If you notice any of these symptoms after giving PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S, seek immediate medical attention. Keep a close eye on your child, especially after the first dose.
• Proper Storage is Key: Store PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children. Proper storage ensures the medication remains effective until it's used. Do not store it in the bathroom, as the humidity can affect the tablet's quality.
• Consult Doctor Before Combining Medications: Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before giving your child any other medications (including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, or herbal supplements) while they are taking PHEXIN 125MG KID TABLET 10'S. Some medications can interact with cefalexin, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
