Directions for Use

How it works
Aconpod 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Aconpod 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can my child receive vaccinations while on Aconpod 50mg Dry Syrup?

Your child's doctor may prescribe periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor their condition.
Is yellow-green nasal mucus a sign of bacterial infection?

Can I give antibiotics for my child's sore throat and ear infection?
No, most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics should not be administered in these cases. Consult your child's doctor to determine the best course of action.
Does a viral cold always result in a secondary bacterial infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Always consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.

Can Aconpod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Aconpod 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
