Directions for Use

How it works
Cyrox 50mg 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 Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Giving your child more than the recommended dose of Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects and may worsen their condition.
Are there any potential serious side effects of Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some possible serious side effects of this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It's important to consult your child’s doctor immediately if you encounter these symptoms.
Can I give other medications at the same time as Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your child's doctor about all the medicines they are currently taking before starting Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup. It is also best to consult a doctor for guidance on administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics do not typically interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it is essential to wait until your child recovers from any illness before administering a vaccine. As soon as they feel better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests might I need to perform with my child on long-term Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup treatment?
The doctor may suggest periodic kidney function and liver function tests during long-term Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup treatment to monitor your child's condition.
My child has a yellow-green mucus discharge from their nose. Is this an indication of bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. It is common for mucus to thicken and change color during a cold (common viral infection). In most cases, symptoms last 7-10 days.
My child has sore throat and earache. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and earaches are caused by viruses. Antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely due to a virus. Consult your child’s doctor for proper guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses usually result in secondary bacterial infection? When should antibiotics be considered?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics are only necessary after consulting with your child's doctor if there is a clear indication of bacterial infection.
Can Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often have sensitive stomachs and experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. Additionally, good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected by these medications. Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup can kill both the bad and good bacteria, increasing the risk of further infections.
Does using Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup increase the risk of bacterial resistance?
Yes, irregular treatment, frequent use, or misuse of Cyrox 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may require a different approach for treatment.
