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

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
If you accidentally give your child an extra dose of Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup, it is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect an overdose, please consult a doctor immediately. They can provide guidance on what to do next and help prevent any potential complications.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects associated with Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you notice any of these symptoms or have concerns about your child's health, please consult their doctor for assistance.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with their doctor before giving any new medicine to your child while on this treatment course.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccines or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before getting vaccinated. Once they are feeling better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
To monitor your child's condition, kidney function tests and liver function tests might be prescribed periodically by their doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics should not be given for viral infections. If your child has symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult their doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to 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. Consult with their doctor about when and how to use antibiotics.
Can Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected too. Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea on this treatment course, consult their doctor for guidance.
Can Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Anpod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
