Introduction
Croxim Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in children. It is effective against infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, and urinary tract. Additionally, it is used to prevent infections in animal and human bite wounds and may be administered before surgical procedures as a preventive measure. While generally safe, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to prevent bacterial resistance. Consult a doctor if any severe side effects occur.
Directions for Use
Administer Croxim Syrup to your child as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the full course is completed even if symptoms improve.
How it works
Croxim Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. This action stops the bacteria from growing and spreading, effectively treating the infection.
Quick Tips
Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. 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. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. This medicine is not to be taken in such cases. Only give Croxim Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Discontinue giving Croxim Syrup and consult the doctor immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.
