Introduction
Creo 50mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections in children, including those affecting the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also effective in treating uncomplicated typhoid fever in children and adolescents. The medicine works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. This stops the bacteria from growing and spreading, without making them resistant to further treatment. It is important to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or causing another infection. Common side effects are not listed, but it is crucial to consult a doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics.
How it works
Creo 50mg Tablet works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall), which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. This stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, 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 Creo 50mg Tablet 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.
