About Medicine

Cefixime (50mg/5ml/5ml) is present in a dry syrup/ oral suspension contained in Ambicef-50. It is part of the Cefixime group of antibiotics, and this family is famous due to the broad-spectrum activities the antibiotics have against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The name of the product is the Oral Suspension IP; the name reflects the compliance with the strict quality demands of the Indian Pharmacopoeia. This is a liquid drug that has been designed to have excellent bioavailability. The active medication is absorbed effectively into the bloodstream of the child, starting to fight against infection immediately.

Medical Uses

Ambicef-50 is commonly used at a clinical level for many pediatric bacterial infections that include Otitis Media, where it works well against the middle ear infections leading to pain and fever. It is also applied to the treatment of pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and bronchitis, where it gets rid of deep-seated pathogens. Ambicef-50 pills cure bladder and kidney infections that are brought about by fragile bacteria, which cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). This drug is highly relied upon as an oral and safe alternative in curing uncomplicated enteric fever among children.
