Dosage Form
Dry Syrup
Introduction
Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup is best given an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose. Do not give this medicine to your child in case of cold and flu symptoms as they are usually caused by viruses and antibiotics don’t treat viral infections. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How it works
Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It 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 them 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 Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup?
Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup can interact with some medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about all other medications your child is currently taking before starting Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup, and consult with them regarding any additional medicine use.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics don't interfere with vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been immunized. However, it's best to wait until your child recovers from the illness before administering any vaccines. Once they feel better, you can proceed with vaccination as advised by your doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The physician may recommend routine kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's health throughout the treatment period.
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 doesn't always indicate a need for antibiotics. During common colds, mucus can thicken and change colour from clear to yellow or green. This typically lasts for 7-10 days.
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, bacteria don't follow viral infections. It is not advisable to start antibiotics for a viral infection as it can cause side effects without benefitting your child's health. Always seek guidance from your doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach and develop stomach upset while on antibiotics. This is because the beneficial bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract can be affected during antibiotic treatment. Using Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup could also negatively impact the good bacteria, increasing the risk of developing new infections.
Can Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, inconsistent treatment, repeated use, and improper handling of Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. This means bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics, making them less effective.
How long should I take Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup?
Bolsofix 50mg Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. Always follow your doctor's recommendations and complete the full course of treatment as advised.
