Introduction
Olatex 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medicine commonly prescribed for children to treat various bacterial infections. It targets infections in the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. Additionally, it is part of the treatment regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It is crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics to prevent bacteria from multiplying again, becoming resistant, or causing another infection. Side effects may include diarrhea, and it is important to drink plenty of water if this occurs. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash, itchy skin, swelling of the face and mouth, or difficulty breathing develops.
Directions for Use
Administer Olatex 50mg Oral Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. Ensure your child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Avoid giving calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, or antacids within 2 hours of taking this medicine.
How it works
Olatex 50mg Oral Suspension works by interfering with the genetic material of bacteria, implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hinder bacterial multiplication and survival, effectively killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Olatex 50mg Oral Suspension as these can affect the absorption of the medicine. 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. Discontinue Olatex 50mg Oral Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Only give Olatex 50mg Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
