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

Can other medicines be taken with Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup?

Can my child get vaccinated while on Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup treatment?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccines or cause bad reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's best to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before getting a vaccine.
What lab tests might my child need while taking Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup long-term?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus in the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, this symptom is normal during a common cold. The thickened mucus can turn yellow or green, but antibiotics aren't needed. This usually lasts for 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection – should I give antibiotics?
Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, so antibiotics shouldn't be given. If your child has symptoms like a runny nose, barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus. Consult their doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viruses may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with their doctor.
Can Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Yes, children often have sensitive stomachs and can develop upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected too. Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections.
Can Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Elivpod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
