Shfix-LB Dry Syrup Orange contains two ingredients, one antibiotic and one probiotic. While the antibiotic helps kill a wide range of bacterial infections, the probiotic prevents the antibiotic from causing digestive problems as a side effect. It does so by restoring the balance of good bacteria in the intestine.

Shfix-LB Dry Syrup Orange is a combination of two medicines: Shfix-LB Dry Syrup Orange1 and Shfix-LB Dry Syrup Orange2.

Benefits of Shfix-LB Dry Syrup Orange for your child

In Treatment of Bacterial infections

Shfix-LB Dry Syrup Orange 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.
