Side Effects
Diarrhea may occur as a side effect. Taking probiotics along with Mymox Dry Syrup may help. Talk to your doctor if you notice bloody stools or develop abdominal cramps.
How it works
Mymox 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 kills the infection-causing bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Make sure your child drinks plenty of water if they develop diarrhea as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Give Mymox Dry Syrup to your child only for their current infection. Avoid storing the medicine for future use as it is impossible to judge whether the same medicine would work for any 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I give Mymox Dry Syrup to my child repeatedly for a long time?
Long-term use of Mymox Dry Syrup can increase the risk of fungal infections (oral thrush) and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always follow the prescribed dose and duration of treatment. Do not alter the dosage or length of treatment without your doctor's guidance, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Mymox Dry Syrup?
Although rare, Mymox Dry Syrup can cause serious side effects like persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions (e.g., rashes), diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult your doctor immediately if experiencing any of these side effects.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mymox Dry Syrup?
Mymox Dry Syrup may interact with some medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about all other medications before starting treatment. Additionally, check with your doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mymox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have just received vaccinations. However, it's advisable to hold off on vaccinating until your child has recovered from the infection before starting treatment.
