Astafix-LB Dry Syrup by Astalabs is a combination formulation containing Cefixime and Lactic Acid Bacillus. Cefixime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with bacterial cell-wall formation, thereby helping control susceptible bacterial infections.
The formulation also contains Lactic Acid Bacillus 60 Million Spores, which provides probiotic support during antibiotic therapy. Antibiotic treatment can affect the normal balance of intestinal microorganisms, and the inclusion of a probiotic ingredient can provide supportive nutritional and gastrointestinal flora support.
Astafix-LB Dry Syrup is supplied as a dry powder for oral suspension and is intended for pediatric use when prescribed by a healthcare professional. The dry syrup format can be reconstituted with the recommended amount of water before administration.
The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a doctor based on factors such as the patient’s age, body weight, infection and clinical condition. Antibiotics should be used only when prescribed and should not be used for viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
