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.

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 Mahacef-CV 100 Tablet 6's.
