Short Description

Dosage Form
Dry Syrup
Introduction
Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children to treat bacterial infections targeting the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating uncomplicated 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
Paxime 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. 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 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 Paxime 50mg Dry 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 I accidentally give my child too much Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
If you think you have given too much Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup to your child, speak to a doctor immediately. An extra dose is unlikely to cause harm, but an overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and worsen their condition.
Are there any serious possible side effects of Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some severe side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If your child experiences these symptoms, consult their doctor for assistance.
Can other medicines be taken at the same time as Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup, and consult their doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can my child be vaccinated while on treatment with Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Their doctor may prescribe periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus in the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color; symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Does a viral infection always result in a secondary bacterial infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult their doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected, increasing the risk of developing other infections.
Can Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
How long should I take Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup?
Paxime 50mg Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. Take it for the full duration of your treatment as advised by your doctor.
