Cebosh DS Suspension 30ml is an oral cefixime antibiotic preparation used to treat certain bacterial infections. Cefixime belongs to the third-generation cephalosporin group and works by interfering with bacterial cell-wall formation.

Cebosh DS may be prescribed for susceptible infections affecting the respiratory tract, ears, throat, sinuses, and urinary tract. The DS (Double Strength) formulation contains a higher concentration of cefixime than standard suspension, so the dose should be measured carefully according to the doctor's prescription.

It should only be used for bacterial infections and is not effective against viral illnesses such as the common cold or flu.
