• Cefolac 100 mg syrup contains cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Its pharmacological mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis by targeting the enzyme transpeptidase or penicillin-binding protein (PBP). Cefixime binds to PBPs, preventing the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains in the bacterial cell wall. This disruption weakens the cell wall, leading to bacterial cell death. 
• Cefixime exhibits broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, moraxella catarrhalis, and enterobacteriaceae.

• Store Cefolac 100 syrup at room temperature (15-25ºC).
• Please protect it from light and moisture.
• Keep Cefolac 100 syrup away from children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date has passed.

• Consume foods high in fibre, such as whole grains, legumes, berries, broccoli, peas, and bananas.
• Antibiotics may disrupt the beneficial bacteria in the stomach that aid digestion. As a result, probiotic-rich foods such as yoghurt/curd and buttermilk are recommended.
• Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to enhance your immune system. Avoid foods high in fats, sugar, and salt.
• Wash your hands frequently to maintain excellent personal hygiene to prevent spreading infections.
