How it works
Mopof 100 Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It 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. 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 Mopof 100 Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mopof 100 Dry Syrup?

Periodic kidney function and liver function tests may be recommended by your child's doctor for monitoring purposes during long-term treatment with this medication.
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 typically indicates a viral infection. It's normal for mucus to change color during a common cold, with symptoms often lasting 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections like a sore throat or ear infection. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ears, it's likely due to a virus. Consult your child’s doctor for guidance.

Can Mopof 100 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
