Key Information
Short Description
CO2 Dry Syrup Mango is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections in children and adolescents.
Dosage Form
Oral Suspension
Introduction
CO2 Dry Syrup Mango is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections that may affect your child's eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bone and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating 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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking CO2 Dry Syrup Mango as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
How it works
CO2 Dry Syrup Mango contains two antibiotics. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) while ofloxacin directly interacts with the genetic material of bacteria. As a consequence, the infection-causing bacteria stop growing further and the spread of the infection is successfully arrested.
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. Do not give this medicine for conditions like common cold and flu, which are caused by viruses. Only give CO2 Dry Syrup Mango 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.

If you suspect your child may have overdosed on CO2 Dry Syrup Mango, seek immediate medical guidance from a healthcare professional.
Are there any possible serious side effects of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango?
Serious potential side effects of this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for assistance with these situations.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as CO2 Dry Syrup Mango?
CO2 Dry Syrup Mango may interact with certain other medications or substances. It's vital to discuss all medications your child is taking with their doctor before starting this medication. Additionally, consult your child's doctor regarding administering any additional medicine.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with CO2 Dry Syrup Mango?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received a vaccine. However, children taking antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the doctor can consider administering the vaccine.
Can CO2 Dry Syrup Mango impact my child’s digestion?
Children often experience digestive issues when taking antibiotics due to the disruption of their normal gut bacteria balance. This imbalance can make them more susceptible to other infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea while on CO2 Dry Syrup Mango, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact your child’s doctor for guidance. The doctor might consider adjusting the dosage.
Can CO2 Dry Syrup Mango lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, the bacteria causing the infection can become resistant to CO2 Dry Syrup Mango due to factors like inconsistent dosing, unnecessary repeated use, or improper usage of this medication. This resistance can make it difficult to cure infections effectively as these bacteria may no longer be affected by antibiotics.
What should I tell the doctor before giving CO2 Dry Syrup Mango to my child?
Before administering CO2 Dry Syrup Mango, inform the doctor if your child has any of the following conditions: heart disease, genetic disorders affecting blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (sensitivity to sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because these underlying conditions may be exacerbated by this medication.
