Minifix Dry Syrup 30 ML is given orally.

Minifix Dry Syrup 30 ML contains cefixime (50 mg). The activity of this medicine can be understood through the following points:

• Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefixime works by inhibiting an essential process in bacteria called cell wall synthesis. The cell wall provides structural integrity to bacteria; without it, bacteria cannot survive.

• Disrupts Peptidoglycan Layer Formation: Cefixime binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). PBPs are enzymes that help in forming the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall. By disrupting this process, cefixime effectively causes bacterial cells to break down and die.

  This action against bacteria stops the infection from progressing, helping manage your child's bacterial infection effectively.

1. Keep Minifix Dry Syrup 30 ML in a cool, dry place, not exceeding 25°C.

2. Protect this medicine from direct sunlight and moisture.

3. Once you've prepared the syrup, store it in a refrigerator between 2-8°C.

4. Make sure you keep the bottle out of your child's reach.

5. Always use the reconstituted syrup before its expiry date, typically 7 to 14 days after preparation.

• If your child is suffering from a urinary tract infection (UTI), make sure they drink plenty of water. This will help flush out bacteria more effectively.

• For children battling respiratory tract infections like bronchitis or pneumonia, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can boost their immune system. Foods high in vitamin C, like oranges or strawberries, can particularly help strengthen your child's resistance against such infections.
