How it works
C-Poxime Oral Suspension 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 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-Poxime Oral Suspension 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 C-Poxime Oral Suspension?
An extra dose of C-Poxime Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has received an excessive dose, immediately consult with their doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of C-Poxime Oral Suspension?
C-Poxime Oral Suspension may cause serious side effects, including persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as C-Poxime Oral Suspension?
C-Poxime Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting C-Poxime Oral Suspension. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any other medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking C-Poxime Oral Suspension?
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 C-Poxime Oral Suspension long-term?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition while they are taking C-Poxime Oral Suspension.
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.
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. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can C-Poxime Oral Suspension impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, including C-Poxime Oral Suspension. Antibiotics may also disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child develops diarrhea while taking C-Poxime Oral Suspension, do not stop the medication course. Instead, consult with their doctor for guidance.
Can C-Poxime Oral Suspension lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of C-Poxime Oral Suspension can lead to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
