Antibiotics kill the infection-causing bacteria, but while doing this they may affect the good bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract.

In case your child is having diarrhea while on Cefurif 125mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.

Can Cefurif 125mg Dry Syrup be taken on an empty stomach?
