It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Admopod 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 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 Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup?
An extra dose of Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has received an excessive dose, consult a doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen your child's condition.
Are there any serious side effects of Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for guidance in such situations.
Can I give other medicines to my child while they are taking Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before administering any other medication.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup long-term?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Can I give antibiotics to my child for a sore throat and ear infection?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Do viral infections always result in secondary bacterial infections? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and may experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Can Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Admopod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
