Directions for Use

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

Are there any possible serious side effects of Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some potential serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It's crucial to consult your child’s doctor for immediate assistance if experiencing such symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup?
It's important to inform a doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child’s doctor before administering any medicine to your child. This guidance ensures optimal safety and effectiveness.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received one. However, it’s recommended to wait until your child recovers from their illness before vaccination. As soon as they feel better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests might be prescribed by the doctor to monitor your child’s condition during long-term treatment with Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup.
The mucus coming out of my child's nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose typically does not require antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotics are not used for viral infections like sore throats and ear infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it’s likely caused by a virus. It's essential to consult with your child’s doctor for proper guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections is generally not beneficial and may even cause side effects without aiding your child’s recovery. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by your doctor after consultation if there is a clear need.
Can Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children's stomachs are often sensitive, and antibiotic treatment may lead to stomach upset. During this period, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract might be affected as well. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Call your doctor immediately to discuss the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may adjust the dosage.
Can Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Endbug 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer effectively killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
