It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.

Directions for Use

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

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much of Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup?
If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor immediately. Extra doses are unlikely to cause harm, but an overdose can lead to unwanted side effects and worsen your child's condition.
Are there any serious potential side effects of Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If you experience these symptoms, consult a doctor for assistance.
Can other medications be taken with Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any additional medications before starting Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup, and consult them before giving any medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before receiving a vaccine.
What laboratory tests may be necessary for long-term use of Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Your child's doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor their condition.
Is yellow-green mucus in the nose a sign of bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color; symptoms typically last 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, as more than 80% of these cases are caused by viruses, and antibiotics should not be used. Consult your child's doctor for guidance on viral infections.
Does a common cold always lead to secondary bacterial infection, and when should antibiotics be started to prevent this?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections can cause side effects without benefiting the child's health; consult your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, which may also affect the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. If your child develops diarrhea on Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course; instead, consult with a doctor for guidance.
Can Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Daympod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
