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

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I accidentally give too much Ogpod Dry Syrup?
Giving an extra dose of Ogpod Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm, but if you think your child has taken too much, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects of Ogpod Dry Syrup?

Can I give other medicines with Ogpod Dry Syrup?
Ogpod Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Ogpod Dry Syrup, and check with their doctor before giving any additional medicine.
Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Ogpod Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction after vaccination. However, children should wait until they recover from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What lab tests may be required for long-term use of Ogpod Dry Syrup?
Kidney function tests and liver function tests may be prescribed periodically to monitor your child's condition.
Does yellow-green mucus in my child's nose indicate a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color.
Can I give antibiotics for my child's sore throat and ear infection?
No, most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses and do not require antibiotics. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Does a viral infection always lead to a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may cause side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Ogpod Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, which can also harm the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. Ogpod Dry Syrup may kill off these beneficial bacteria, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Ogpod Dry Syrup, consult their doctor for guidance.
Can Ogpod Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Ogpod Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic resistance, making bacteria harder to kill with antibiotics.
