How it works
Cephoprl 100mg Dry 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 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 Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I accidentally give my child too much Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup?
Giving your child an extra dose of Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm, but if you suspect they've taken too much, contact their doctor immediately. This is because high doses can lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious potential side effects from taking Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup?
Some severe side effects of this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If your child experiences these symptoms, seek medical help right away.
Can I give my child other medicines while they're on Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup?
Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. Before giving your child any medicine, inform their doctor about what else they're taking. Additionally, consult their doctor before administering any medication.
Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction after vaccination. However, it's best for children to recover from illness before getting vaccinated.
What lab tests may be required if my child takes Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup long-term?
Their doctor might order periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor their condition.
Is yellow or green mucus in the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus doesn't necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color, with symptoms usually lasting 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria, so antibiotics aren't necessary. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus.
Do viral infections always lead to secondary bacterial infections? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may cause side effects without benefiting your child's health. Only use antibiotics after consulting with their doctor.
Can Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup can kill off good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child develops diarrhea while on this medication, do not stop the course; instead, contact their doctor for guidance.
Can Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Cephoprl 100mg Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
