How it works
C Doc PX 50mg 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 C Doc PX 50mg Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Are there any possible serious side effects of C Doc PX 50mg Syrup?
Serious side effects may include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It is essential to consult with your child's doctor for help if you observe any of these symptoms.

C Doc PX 50mg Syrup may interact with other medications. Please inform your child's doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting C Doc PX 50mg Syrup and seek guidance from a healthcare professional for any medication changes.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with C Doc PX 50mg Syrup?
In most cases, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines. However, it is best to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated. When your child feels better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking C Doc PX 50mg Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney function and liver function tests are recommended to monitor your child's condition during long-term treatment.
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 indicate a bacterial infection. It is normal for mucus to thicken during a common cold, and symptoms usually 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 are not effective against them. 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.
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 infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may lead to side effects without providing any benefit to your child's health. Only use antibiotics after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can C Doc PX 50mg Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience digestive upset while taking antibiotics. The natural good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may also be affected by C Doc PX 50mg Syrup, potentially leading to an increase in the risk of other infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea during treatment with C Doc PX 50mg Syrup, do not discontinue the medication course. Please contact a doctor for advice about the next steps. They may adjust the dosage.
Can C Doc PX 50mg Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular antibiotic use, repeated prescription of antibiotics, and misuse of C Doc PX 50mg Syrup can contribute to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer affected by antibiotics, which may lead to re-infection.
