Introduction
Mgdox 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
Mgdox 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 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 Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup?
Giving your child an extra dose of Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think they've taken too much, contact their doctor immediately. Overdosing may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects I should be aware of when giving my child Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup?
Some severe side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult your child's doctor if you experience such symptoms.
Can I give other medicines to my child at the same time as Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup?
Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they're taking before starting Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup, and check with their doctor before giving any additional medicine.
Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who've just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics shouldn't be vaccinated until they recover from their illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Their doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor their condition.
If my child has yellow-green mucus in their nose, is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus doesn't necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color; symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Can I give antibiotics to my child if they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics shouldn't be given. If your child has symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus. Consult their doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with their doctor.
Can Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected. Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup can kill off both good and bad bacteria, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup, don't stop the medicine course; contact their doctor instead.
Can Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Mgdox 50 Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
