Prescription Required
Your child’s medicine at a glance

Benefits of Cefo L 50mg Tablet for your child
In Treatment of Bacterial infections
Cefo L 50mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine. It is commonly given to children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including infections of the eyes, middle ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bone and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

FAQs
My child is suffering from liver failure and his investigations showed high blood ammonia levels. Is it safe to give Cefo L 50mg Tablet?
No. It is better to avoid giving Cefo L 50mg Tablet as it contains lactobacillus which can further elevate the levels of blood ammonia and increase the risk of serious complications like coma.
What if I give too much of Cefo L 50mg Tablet by mistake?
Avoid giving more than the recommended dose because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. Although an extra dose of Cefo L 50mg Tablet is unlikely to harm, if you think you have given too much of Cefo L 50mg Tablet to your child, immediately speak to a doctor.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cefo L 50mg Tablet?
In rare cases, Cefo L 50mg Tablet may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, and allergy. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cefo L 50mg Tablet?
Cefo L 50mg Tablet can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Cefo L 50mg Tablet. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefo L 50mg Tablet?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. It is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. With symptoms often lasting for 7-10 days, this is exactly how a common cold generally progresses.
