OMNIX-100 DRY SYRUP 100MG/5ML contains cefixime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which effectively kills the bacteria causing infections. It is used to treat respiratory infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis, as well as urinary tract infections and ear infections (otitis media) in children. The liquid syrup form makes it easier for pediatric patients to take.
Usage Instructions:

Frequency: Administer the syrup 1 to 2 times daily, depending on the doctor’s instructions.
Course Completion: Ensure the full course is completed even if the child feels better, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Pediatric Friendly: The syrup form makes it easier to administer to children.
