Introduction
I Pod 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic commonly prescribed for children to treat various bacterial infections affecting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also effective in treating typhoid fever in children and adolescents. The medicine works by preventing the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. This action stops the bacteria from growing and spreading, thereby treating the infection. It is important to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant or causing another infection. Common side effects are not listed, but it is crucial to monitor for any allergic reactions such as itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics.
How it works
I Pod 50mg Dry Syrup works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall), which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. This stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, 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 I Pod 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. 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.
