Recef 50 Syrup is an antibiotic medicine containing Cefixime 50 mg, commonly used under medical supervision to treat a range of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, ear, throat, urinary system, and more. It helps eliminate bacteria responsible for infections and supports faster recovery when prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider.
Recef 50 Syrup is a cephalosporin class antibiotic formulated as a liquid (syrup) for oral use. It is often chosen for pediatric patients and others who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. This medicine works by disrupting the growth of bacteria, helping to clear infections effectively.
Recef 50 Syrup is prescribed to treat bacterial infections such as:
Respiratory tract infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia)
Throat and ear infections (tonsillitis, pharyngitis, otitis media)
Urinary tract infections
Other bacterial infections as advised by a physician
⚠️ It is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. Antibiotic use should always be guided by a doctor.
Recef 50 Syrup contains Cefixime, which acts by preventing bacteria from forming a protective cell wall. Without this wall, bacteria become weaker and eventually die, stopping the infection from spreading.
As directed by your doctor — dosage varies by age, weight, and infection severity.
Shake well before use and measure the dose accurately using a dosing syringe or cup.
It may be taken with or without food; if stomach upset occurs, taking it with meals may help.

⚠️ Do not self-medicate. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any antibiotic.
