About Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's

Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used to treat ear, skin, throat, lung, and urinary tract infections caused by bacteria. Bacteria can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter and grow in the body. Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's effectively treats infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's is a combination medicine containing Cefixime (cephalosporin) and Clavulanic acid. Cefixime works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of cefixime. 

Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's may cause certain side effects in your child, such as indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your pediatrician. Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give the child more than the prescribed dose of Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your pediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.
