About Refzil O 250 mg Suspension

Refzil O 250 mg Suspension belongs to a class of medications called ‘Antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. It is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections such as pharyngitis (sore throat), tonsillitis (swollen tonsils), otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis (sinus infection), bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi or lower respiratory tract infection) and skin infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce toxins that can damage tissues and make you sick. Refzil O 250 mg Suspension is ineffective against viral infections, such as the common cold or flu.

Refzil O 250 mg Suspension contains ‘Cefprozil’, which is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Thus, it helps treat and prevent the spread of infections.

You should give Refzil O 250 mg Suspension to your child exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Refzil O 250 mg Suspension are nausea, diarrhoea, diaper rash, and vaginal itching or discharge. It may also cause abnormal liver function tests and decreased blood cell (WBC) count. These side effects usually don't require medical attention. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these side effects persist or get worse.

It is not recommended to give Refzil O 250 mg Suspension if your child is allergic to any antibiotics, including penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics. Before giving Refzil O 250 mg Suspension, inform your doctor if your child has intestinal problems such as colitis (inflammation of the intestine) and kidney diseases. Do not give Refzil O 250 mg Suspension to your child on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infection. Refzil O 250 mg Suspension should be used with caution in children by consulting a doctor.

Drug Warnings

Refzil O 250 mg Suspension should be used with caution in children with kidney diseases. Do not give Refzil O 250 mg Suspension to your child on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Your child may experience ‘Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea (CDAD)’ after using Refzil O 250 mg Suspension. So, please undergo an examination to rule out CDAD's chances if they experience diarrhoea following the use of Refzil O 250 mg Suspension. Do not give Refzil O 250 mg Suspension to your child for prolonged periods than recommended by your doctor. Long-term use can lead to superinfection (additional infection caused by other microbes).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be given to your child after completing the full course of Refzil O 250 mg Suspension to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Giving probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your child’s diet. Fibre-rich foods can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your child’s diet.
