How it works

This prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to give Bacigyl-N Suspension to my child with a genetic deficiency of the G6PD enzyme?
It is recommended that your child's G6PD deficiency be evaluated before starting treatment with Bacigyl-N Suspension. Deficiency of G6PD enzymes can lead to the breakdown of blood cells, resulting in severe anemia, and may not be suitable for treatment with Bacigyl-N Suspension.
Can Bacigyl-N Suspension be given along with cough and cold medicines?
No, it is not recommended to give Bacigyl-N Suspension with cough and cold medicines. Bacigyl-N Suspension can interact with alcohol-containing medicines, such as cough syrups, and cause a disulfiram reaction, leading to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, and others.
What if I give excess Bacigyl-N Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Bacigyl-N Suspension is unlikely to cause harm, but it is still important to monitor your child closely for any signs of an overdose. Overdose can increase the risk of side effects such as seizures, tremors, severe headache, sudden weakness, blood cell abnormalities, and rapid and irregular heartbeat. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. If you suspect an overdose, consult with your child's doctor.
What should I do if my child shows no improvement even after taking Bacigyl-N Suspension for the prescribed duration?
If your child does not show any improvement after completing the prescribed dose of Bacigyl-N Suspension, consult with your child's doctor. This may indicate that the medicine is not effective against the infection-causing bacteria, and your child's doctor may recommend a different antibiotic or adjust the treatment plan.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Bacigyl-N Suspension?
Bacigyl-N Suspension can interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Bacigyl-N Suspension, and check with your child's doctor before giving any additional medicines.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Bacigyl-N Suspension?
Antibiotics like Bacigyl-N Suspension usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Bacigyl-N Suspension to my child?
Inform your child's doctor if your child has any pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy, neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis, as Bacigyl-N Suspension may exacerbate these conditions and lead to complications.
