Specifications
Lindex DS, classified within the anti-infectives therapeutic class, is an antibiotic medication formulated as a powder for oral suspension. Each 5 ml of the reconstituted suspension contains 250 mg of Cephradine, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. This medication is effective against a variety of bacteria and is typically used in treating bacterial infections. The product, when reconstituted, provides a total volume of 100 ml of suspension.
Lindex DS (Cephradine 250 mg per 5 ml) is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections. These infections may include respiratory tract infections (such as bronchitis and pneumonia), ear infections (like otitis media), skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections. Cephradine works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria. It's effective against a range of bacteria, making it a suitable choice for various infections.
The dosage of Lindex DS is typically determined based on the patient's age, weight, the severity of the infection, and the type of infecting organism. For children and adults, the dosing regimen is usually calculated as per body weight, with a common dosage being 25-50 mg/kg of body weight per day, divided into multiple doses.
To prepare the suspension, the powder should be reconstituted with water according to the instructions provided, ensuring the total volume reaches 100 ml. The suspension should be shaken well before each use to ensure the medication is properly mixed. It's important to complete the full course of the antibiotic as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the end of the treatment, to fully eradicate the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
As the label warns, "Do not use without prescription of registered physician," it's crucial for patients to consult a healthcare provider before starting treatment with Lindex DS. Any adjustments to the dosage or duration of treatment should be made only under medical supervision. Patients or caregivers should also be informed about the proper storage of the suspension and the disposal of any unused portion after the course of treatment is completed.
