Can you get vaccinated while on treatment with Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup?

Is yellow or green mucus in the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?

Do viral infections always result in secondary bacterial infections? When should you start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most instances, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without providing any benefits to your child's health. Consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?

Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup may also kill off beneficial bacteria, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course without consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.

Muraxim 50 Dry Syrup is typically prescribed for 7-14 days. It is essential to complete the full treatment duration as advised by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
