It is used to treat bacterial infections in children, such as those affecting the teeth, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and genital tract. The antibiotic ingredients interfere with the genetic material of bacteria, killing the infection-causing bacteria and preventing their growth and stopping the infection. Simethicone helps to remove gas bubbles and provides relief in stomach pain and bloating.
