Levcef-DS Dry Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as infections of the throat, lungs, urinary tract, ears, skin, and certain sexually transmitted infections. It contains cefixime, which works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause infection. This allows the body to clear the infection and improves symptoms over time.

Levcef-DS Dry Syrup should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor, usually for about 7–14 days, depending on the infection. Swallow it with water at the time recommended by your doctor. If it causes stomach upset, it may be taken after food. Complete the full course even if you start feeling better earlier, and avoid stopping it on your own.
Q. What should I do if I do not get better after using Levcef-DS Dry Syrup?
Inform your doctor if you do not feel better even after completing the full course of Levcef-DS Dry Syrup. You should also seek medical advice if your symptoms get worse while taking it. Do not stop, restart, or change the dose on your own without consulting your doctor.
Q. Can Levcef-DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
