Short Description
Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including ear, eye, nose, throat, lung, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract infections, as well as uncomplicated typhoid fever.
Dosage Form
Dry Syrup
Introduction
Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup is best given an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose. Do not give this medicine to your child in case of cold and flu symptoms as they are usually caused by viruses and antibiotics don’t treat viral infections. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Dissolve the powder in sterile water. Shake well and use. Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How it works
Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It 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 them 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 Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Consult your doctor before giving your child any other medicine, especially if they are on other treatments.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccines or cause significant side effects in children. However, avoid vaccinating your child until they fully recover from the illness.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Regularly monitoring your child's kidney and liver function is advisable, especially if they are receiving prolonged treatment with Ciro 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 usually indicates a common cold, but this doesn't necessarily mean you need antibiotics. It is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color as they get through the typical viral infection.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
Viruses typically don't lead to bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't help with viral colds and can even cause side effects without benefitting your child's recovery. Talk to your doctor for specific advice.

Antibiotics can affect the delicate balance of bacteria in a child's gut, potentially causing stomach upset. It is important to contact your doctor if your child experiences diarrhea while on Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup.

Yes, inconsistent antibiotic use, overusing the medication, or improper dosage can contribute to bacterial resistance. This means that bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics and require more powerful medications for treatment.

Ciro 50mg Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment.
