Introduction
Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Cepronet 50 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 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 Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup is unlikely to do harm. However, if you believe you have given too much of the medicine to your child, immediately speak with a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects and could even worsen your child’s condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects associated with this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in case of such a situation.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup?
Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. It is essential to inform your child’s doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup. Consulting with a doctor for advice on administering medication is always recommended.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in a child who has recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they recover from any underlying illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
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. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms often 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 used for treating them. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barking cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's most likely due to a virus. Consult with 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 don't follow viral infections. Antibiotics are not recommended for viral infections and using them could lead to side effects without benefitting your child’s health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with a doctor.
Can Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience upset stomachs while taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their gut may also be affected by this medication. Additionally, Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup can negatively affect the balance of good and bad bacteria, increasing the risk of developing new infections. If your child experiences diarrhea, do not stop the medication course but instead contact a doctor for advice on how to proceed.
Can Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Cepronet 50 Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. This means bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics, leading to reinfection.
