Specifications
Recofast GS is an antibiotic medication classified under the anti-infectives therapeutic class. It is formulated as a powder for oral suspension, specifically designed for pediatric use. Each 5 ml of the prepared suspension contains 125 mg of Cefuroxime. Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria. The medication is presented in a 70 ml bottle when reconstituted and is flavored with a mix of banana and vanilla to make it more palatable for children.
Recofast GS (Cefuroxime 125 mg per 5 ml) is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections in children. These infections can include those of the respiratory tract (such as bronchitis and pneumonia), ear (like otitis media), skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections. It is also used for treating conditions like Lyme disease in children and can be prescribed for bacterial infections where the causative organism is susceptible to Cefuroxime.
The dosage of Recofast GS is determined based on the child's weight, age, and the severity of the infection. The typical pediatric dosage usually involves administering the medication in a dose calculated as per the child's body weight, with a common regimen being 10-15 mg/kg of body weight, given twice daily. The exact dosage and duration of treatment should be prescribed by a healthcare provider.
To prepare the suspension, the powder should be reconstituted with water as per the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that the final volume is 70 ml. Before each use, the bottle should be well shaken to ensure that the medication is evenly mixed. It's important for the full course of the antibiotic to be completed as prescribed to fully eradicate the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Parents and caregivers should be guided on the correct preparation, dosage measurement, and administration of the suspension. Any unused suspension should typically be discarded after a certain number of days as advised by the manufacturer or healthcare provider. Dosage adjustments or treatment changes should be made under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
