Key Information
Short Description
Pazocef O Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections in children and adolescents.
Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Pazocef O Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections that may affect your child's eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bone and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating 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. Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid within 2 hours of taking Pazocef O Syrup as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
How it works
Pazocef O Syrup contains two antibiotics. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) while ofloxacin directly interacts with the genetic material of bacteria. As a consequence, the infection-causing bacteria stop growing further and the spread of the infection is successfully arrested.
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. Do not give Pazocef O Syrup to your child for conditions like common cold and flu, which are caused by viruses. Only give Pazocef O 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.

Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Pazocef O Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Can Pazocef O Syrup affect my child's digestion?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics like Pazocef O Syrup. When antibiotics are given, they may kill off both good and bad bacteria, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Pazocef O Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, consult your child's doctor for guidance on the next steps. In some cases, the doctor might adjust the dose.
Can Pazocef O Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, the infection-causing bacteria can become resistant to Pazocef O Syrup due to irregular dosing, unrequired repeated use, or misuse of the medication. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
What should I tell the doctor before giving Pazocef O Syrup to my child?
Inform your child's doctor if your child suffers from heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that Pazocef O Syrup may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
