Short Description

Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Oridro Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that is given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the skin, throat, and tonsils. It may also be prescribed as a second line of treatment for urinary tract infections.
Directions for Use
Give Oridro Syrup 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
Oridro 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 them resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply, become resistant, or cause another infection. Give Oridro Syrup 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. This medicine is not to be taken in such cases. Only give Oridro Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for 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
What if my child accidentally ingests an excessive dose of Oridro Syrup?
A single extra dose of Oridro Syrup is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, if you suspect your child has taken too much, immediately contact a healthcare professional. Overdosing can lead to unexpected side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects associated with taking Oridro Syrup?
While rare, Oridro Syrup might cause some serious side effects. These include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, severe diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult a healthcare professional for immediate guidance if you experience any of these adverse effects.
Can I administer other medications simultaneously with Oridro Syrup?
Oridro Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your child's doctor about all medications they are currently taking before starting Oridro Syrup. Additionally, obtain your doctor's advice regarding any new medicines for your child.
Can I give my child a vaccination while on Oridro Syrup treatment?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received them. However, it is essential to wait for your child to fully recover from any illness before administering a vaccine. After symptoms subside, the doctor can assess whether vaccination is appropriate.
What lab tests might be required during prolonged Oridro Syrup usage?
Your child's doctor may recommend periodic kidney and liver function tests to monitor their overall health while on long-term treatment with Oridro Syrup.
I notice my child has a runny nose, and I see yellow-green mucus oozing from their nose. What does this indicate?
During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color - often from clear to yellow or green. This change in mucus colour usually doesn't indicate the need for antibiotics. These symptoms typically last 7-10 days. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your child's doctor.
Does Oridro Syrup impact the digestive system of my child?
Children have sensitive stomachs and may experience upset stomach while taking any medication. Oridro Syrup is an antibiotic; its use might affect or disrupt good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. It could potentially kill off the beneficial bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child develops diarrhea while taking Oridro Syrup, do not abruptly stop the medication course. Instead, contact your child's doctor to discuss next steps. Your doctor may suggest a modified dosage to minimize such side effects.
Does Oridro Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Oridro Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. This means that when a specific antibiotic is required in the future, it may not be effective and might necessitate the use of a different antibiotic with potential for increased side effects.
