Directions for Use

How it works
Delpocure 50mg Suspension 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 Delpocure 50mg Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Delpocure 50mg Suspension?

What laboratory tests may be required for my child while on long-term treatment with Delpocure 50mg Suspension?
The doctor might recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during extended treatment with Delpocure 50mg Suspension.
What does yellow or green mucus in my child's nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean a bacterial infection is present. This color change can be normal during a common cold, which typically lasts for 7-10 days.
Can I give antibiotics to my child if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No, most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses. Antibiotics should not be administered for viral infections. Consult the doctor for guidance on how to proceed with treatment.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult the doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Delpocure 50mg Suspension affect my child's digestive system?

Can Delpocure 50mg Suspension lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Delpocure 50mg Suspension can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
