FAQs

Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby killing the bacteria and helping in treating bacterial infections.

Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup may cause diarrhoea. Give the child water and non-spicy food if they experience diarrhoea. Consult a doctor if the condition persists or worsens.

Thereby, Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup kills the bacteria and helps in treating bacterial infections.

In some cases, Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea (watery or loose stool), and abdominal pain.

How does the disease interact with Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup 30 ml:
Almost all antibacterial medications have been associated to reports of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), formerly known as pseudomembranous colitis. It can vary from mild diarrhoea to deadly colitis. Clindamycin and lincomycin are two of the most frequent offenders.

How to manage the interaction:
Antibiotics may cause Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), which may range from mild diarrhoea to fatal colitis. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C difficile, and surgical evaluation is advised.
CEFPODOXIME-100MGDisorders resulting from impaired renal tubular function
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup 30 ml:
The kidneys remove the majority of beta-lactam antibiotics as unaltered drugs and, in certain situations, as metabolites as well. In individuals with poor renal function, the blood concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics and their metabolites may rise and their half-lives may be prolonged. According to the particular product package labelling, dosage modifications may be required. These alterations should be based on the severity of the infection as well as the degree of renal impairment. Renal function tests should be carried out on a regular basis during extended and/or high-dose therapy since these medicines have occasionally been linked to nephrotoxicity and changes in renal function.

How to manage the interaction:
The serum concentration may be increased in patients with impaired kidney function as most beta-lactam antibiotics are eliminated by the kidney. Dose adjustment may be necessary for patients with kidney dysfunction. Regular renal function tests are advised.

How does the disease interact with Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup 30 ml:
Hepatitis cases have been associated to the usage of several cephalosporins. Alkaline phosphatase, AST, and ALT levels have all shown a brief spike. When these medications are provided to people with hepatic problems, caution and close observation are advised.

How to manage the interaction:
Caution and monitoring is recommended in patients with liver disorders.

How does the disease interact with Cefentod-Kid Dry Syrup 30 ml:
It has been suggested that cephalosporins can cause seizures. In particular in patients with a history of epilepsy and/or where prescribed doses of cephalosporins were exceeded because of renal impairment, cephalosporins have been associated with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), encephalopathy, coma, asterixis, neuromuscular excitability, and myoclonia. Depending on the creatinine clearance, change the dosage. In individuals with known seizure disorders, anticonvulsant medication should be maintained. Patients should get a neurological exam to see if medication should be stopped if CNS side effects like seizures happen.

How to manage the interaction:
Cephalosporin antibiotics may trigger seizures. Dose adjustment may be needed.
