Introduction
Evipod 50 Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Evipod 50 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 Evipod 50 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Evipod 50 Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Evipod 50 Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. If you think you have given too much of the medication, contact your child's doctor immediately. However, overdosing can lead to unwanted side effects or worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Evipod 50 Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medicine may include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It is crucial to consult your child's doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Evipod 50 Dry Syrup?
Evipod 50 Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. Before starting this medication, tell your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking. Always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Evipod 50 Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has recently received one. However, children taking antibiotics should not be given a vaccine until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Evipod 50 Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition while on long-term treatment with Evipod 50 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 does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last 7 to 10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and 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's likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor to receive 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 for viral infections can lead to unwanted side effects and won’t benefit your child’s health. Antibiotics should only be administered after consultation with a doctor.
Can Evipod 50 Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and may experience digestive upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can also disrupt the good bacteria in their digestive tract, potentially increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Evipod 50 Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact your child's doctor to discuss next steps. The doctor may consider adjusting the dosage.
Can Evipod 50 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, misuse of Evipod 50 Dry Syrup and improper treatment practices can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer effectively killed by the antibiotics, leading to reinfection.
