Directions for Use

How it works
Gldoxi 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 Gldoxi 50mg 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 Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
If you think you have given too much of Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup to your child, speak to a doctor immediately. An extra dose is unlikely to cause harm, but an overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult your child's doctor for help if such a situation arises.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup?
Tell your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as it may interact with the antibiotic.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics do not typically interfere with vaccines or cause a bad reaction. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Gldoxi 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe 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, yellow or green mucus does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change color during a common cold, which typically lasts 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, so antibiotics are not given for viral infections. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
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 with your child's doctor.
