About Lixen Pet Syrup

Lixen Pet Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections in children. It is used in treating mild to moderate infections of the nose, ears, skin, throat, urinary tract, and lungs (such as pneumonia and bronchitis (infection in the airway tubes)) caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Lixen Pet Syrup is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and not effective for viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Lixen Pet Syrup contains Cephalexin an antibiotic belonging to the first-generation cephalosporin class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections. 

Lixen Pet Syrup may cause certain side effects in your child such as indigestion, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Lixen Pet Syrup should be used as advised by your doctor. Before giving it to your child, mix the contents of the container with the boiled water and then administer it. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Lixen Pet Syrup to the child. Generally, the dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending upon the type and severity of the infection.
