How it works

By doing so, this medicine kills the infection-causing bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Doing so may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection.

Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat. Geemox 125mg Dry Syrup is used to treat infections caused by bacteria. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine. Diarrhea may occur as a side effect. Taking probiotics along with Geemox 125mg Dry Syrup may help. Talk to your doctor if you notice bloody stools or develop abdominal cramps.
