Zetacef Oral Suspension belongs to the group of cephalosporin antibiotics indicated in the treatment of bacterial infections. Bacterial infections occur when harmful bacteria multiply inside or on the body. Zetacef Oral Suspension does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Zetacef Oral Suspension contains Cefpodoxime proxetil, which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Zetacef Oral Suspension works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (cell wall), which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, Zetacef Oral Suspension kills bacteria and helps treat bacterial infections.

In some cases, Zetacef Oral Suspension may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea (watery or loose stool), and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Let the doctor know if your child is allergic to any components of Zetacef Oral Suspension. Keep the doctor informed about your child's health condition and medications to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.
