FAQs

BILACTAM XL TABLET contains cefixime and clavulanic acid. Cefixime works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, preventing bacteria from destroying cefixime's efficacy.
No, BILACTAM XL TABLET is not used to treat viral infections. BILACTAM XL TABLET is an antibiotic that is used to treat only bacterial infections.
No. As it is an antibiotic, it is advised to complete the entire treatment course of your child as prescribed. If the treatment is stopped abruptly, there may be drug resistance, and infection may recur.

About BILACTAM XL TABLET

BILACTAM XL TABLET 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. BILACTAM XL TABLET effectively treats infections caused by bacteria only and does not treat viral infections like flu or a common cold.

BILACTAM XL TABLET 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. 

BILACTAM XL TABLET 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. BILACTAM XL TABLET should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give the child more than the prescribed dose of BILACTAM XL TABLET. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your pediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.

BILACTAM XL TABLET is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving BILACTAM XL TABLET to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, medications, and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. If your child has liver or kidney diseases, inform your child's doctor before using BILACTAM XL TABLET.

Special Advise

 

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Try to include more fiber-enriched food in your child’s diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth.
  • Fiber foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
  • Make your child drink more fluids to avoid dehydration.
  • Avoid giving too much calcium (milk products), or iron-enriched foods (spinach), as it might affect the working of BILACTAM XL TABLET.
