Directions for Use

How it works
Nipp 50mg 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. 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 Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup to your child, immediately contact a doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects or worsen your child’s condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help if these occur.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup?
Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It’s important to inform your child’s doctor about all medications they are taking before starting Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup. The doctor should also provide guidance on any medication to give your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don’t interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is important to refrain from giving your child the vaccine until they recover fully from their illness. Once the child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child’s condition.
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 isn’t usually an indication that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus thickening and color change (from clear to yellow/green) is normal. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses and don’t require antibiotics. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's most likely due to a virus. Consult your child’s doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may be ineffective and potentially cause side effects without benefitting your child’s health. Seek guidance from your doctor regarding the use of antibiotics.
Can Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children are more sensitive to stomach upset when taking antibiotics. This is because their good gut bacteria may also be affected during antibiotic treatment. Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off the good bacteria in addition to the bad, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, call your child’s doctor for further guidance.
Can Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, if used irregularly, repeatedly, or incorrectly, Nipp 50mg Dry Syrup may contribute to bacterial resistance. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and can lead to reinfection.
