How it works
Cepor 50mg 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.

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 Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Giving an extra dose of Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child has taken more than the recommended amount, contact a healthcare professional immediately. They can advise on appropriate steps and help prevent any potential side effects or worsening symptoms.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup can sometimes cause serious side effects. These include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It is important to seek immediate medical help if these occur or your child experiences any unusual symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup?
Before starting Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup, tell your doctor about all other medications your child is taking. This will help ensure there are no drug interactions and safe dosing for the most effective treatment. Always consult your healthcare professional before giving any new medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics don't interfere with vaccines or cause reactions in children who have recently received them. However, wait until your child is fully recovered before giving them a vaccination. When they feel better, consult their doctor for scheduling the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
A healthcare professional may recommend kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's condition during prolonged treatment with Cepor 50mg Dry 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 necessarily an indication of a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 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 necessary for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it is most likely due to a virus. Please 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 occur after viral infections. It is not necessary to use antibiotics for viral infections because they won't help your child and can even cause adverse effects. If you are unsure, consult your doctor.
Can Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can also disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gut, increasing their vulnerability to other infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea while taking Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup, don't stop the medication course without consulting a doctor. Your healthcare provider might adjust the dosage.
Can Cepor 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, using antibiotics improperly or for long periods can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Using antibiotics when they are not needed and without proper guidance increases the risk of bacteria becoming resistant to these medications.
