It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

Directions for Use

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

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Cedoc 50mg Syrup by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Cedoc 50mg Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child has taken too much of the medicine, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose can result in unwanted side effects and may worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cedoc 50mg Syrup?
Serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It is crucial to consult your child's doctor in case of any such symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cedoc 50mg Syrup?
Cedoc 50mg Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Cedoc 50mg Syrup. Consulting your child's doctor is always recommended for medication administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cedoc 50mg Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received one. However, it is advisable to wait until your child recovers from the illness before administering any other vaccinations. Consult your doctor for further guidance.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cedoc 50mg Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests might be ordered by the doctor to monitor your child's condition over prolonged treatment with Cedoc 50mg Syrup.
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 is not always a sign of needing antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color, typically lasting for 7-10 days. If you see any other symptoms like fever, difficulty breathing, or rash, contact your doctor immediately.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections and may even cause harm. Consult your 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 benefitting your child's health. Always consult with your doctor before starting antibiotics.
Can Cedoc 50mg Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. These medications can harm the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, potentially increasing the risk of developing infections or other side effects. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Cedoc 50mg Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Call your doctor to receive personalized guidance.
Can Cedoc 50mg Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, or misuse of Cedoc 50mg Syrup can increase the risk of bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may contribute to reinfection.
